HIS RETIREMENT LASTED about six months. Two weeks ago, the Green Bay Packers called to tell him they were going to claim him off waivers and wanted to give him a chance to play quarterback. That is the position he focused on last week in a five-day minicamp, and the Packers are expected to take a longer look at him in training camp this summer as a candidate for the number three spot, or the practice squad.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity,” Crouch said in a telephone interview three days into the Packers’ first mini-camp last week. “This past January, I decided I wanted to get back in and give it a shot at quarterback. I learned the tough way last year that I wasn’t a receiver. I really wanted to be a quarterback, and now I’m getting that opportunity. It’s all I could have asked for.”
