Packers rookie DT Devonte Wyatt deserves more playing time

The Green Bay Packers used two first-round picks in April to pluck a pair of prospects from a dominant University of Georgia defense. The Packers have gotten a good look at linebacker Quay Walker, who has started every game this season and logged nearly 400 snaps. However, the same can’t be said for defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who has played only 14 percent of the snaps on defense this season.

Despite Wyatt’s sparing playing time as a rookie, the signs for a player with tremendous upside are there. Take Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for example.
