Matt LaFleur can already see why Devonte Wyatt was a first-round pick

Matt LaFleur didn’t need long to see the impressive talent of first-round pick Devonte Wyatt, who the Green Bay Packers selected at No. 28 overall in the 2022 draft.

Two days of rookie minicamp provided a strong first impression of the Packers’ new defensive lineman.

“He sure looked good in some of the pass-rush things we were doing. I love his intensity, his focus. You can tell he’s been coached hard,” LaFleur said Saturday. “There’s a reason he was a first-round pick. You can see it.”

Rookies don’t wear pads and live on-field work is limited during minicamp, complicating the evaluation of players along the line of scrimmage, but there’s no reason to think Wyatt can’t carry over his strong start to the rest of the offseason workout program and training camp.
