With the 172nd pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers selected JK Scott, a punter from the University of Alabama.
It was pretty shocking to hear that the Packers took a punter in the draft this year. Even though Justin Vogel seemed like a lock for punting duties in 2018, the Packers decided to take the best punter in college football in 2017.
The last time the Packers drafted a punter was in 2004. That was when then-GM Mike Sherman decided to move up and select B.J. Sander in the third round.
