Jonathan Garvin woke as much as the birthday want from the Inexperienced Bay Packers on Friday. The linebacker was drafted by Inexperienced Bay within the seventh spherical of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Miami, and had performed 38 video games for the group during the last three years, together with one begin.

Getting a birthday want from the official group account should have been a very nice feeling for Garvin. Sadly, what got here subsequent wasn’t.

Right here’s the shot.

And right here’s the chaser:

Garvin obtained reduce on his birthday. The Packers couldn’t wait till tomorrow to launch him?
