University career Packer played U Sports football for the Calgary Dinos from 2017 to 2021. He started at right tackle in the Dinos' 55th Vanier Cup victory over the Montreal Carabins in 2019.

Packer was selected in the sixth round, 51st overall, by the BC Lions in the 2021 CFL draft and signed with the team on May 21, 2021. However, he was released at the end of training camp on July 29, 2021, and returned to the Dinos. After completing his U Sports eligibility, Packer re-signed with the Lions on December 14, 2021.

In the 2023 season, Packer spent most of the year on the practice roster, but dressed for one regular season game in September.

Following training camp in 2024, Packer made the team's opening day roster as a backup offensive lineman. After starting centre Michael Couture suffered an injury, Packer made his first professional start in the season's second game on June 15, 2024, against the Stampeders. He played in 13 regular season games, starting in 12, while sitting out the rest while on the injured list.

On April 14, 2026, Packer was released by the Lions.
