With all the undrafted defensive backs passing through the Lambeau Field gates in the waning Ted Thompson days, I pretty much stopped paying attention to who they were. It was just a blur: Hawkins, Dorleant, Gunter, Evans, Pipkins, Whitehead, Brice, and so on.
Maybe Brian Gutekunst, hired as the team’s general manager in January 2018, just got lucky, but already his poking around among unwanted collegians has had some positive results. You might have barely noticed a couple such players flying around in the Packers’ secondary against the Bears on Thursday. Cornerback Tony Brown deserves a closer inspection.
