Packers select CB Shemar Jean-Charles with 178th pick in 2021 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers had two picks to make in quick succession near the end of the 5th round of the 2021 NFL Draft. At 173, the Packers selected giant nose tackle Tedarrell Slaton out of Florida before going on the clock minutes later with the 178th overall selection.

With that pick, the Packers have selected cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles from Appalachian State University.

Jean-Charles is not a prototypical Packers athlete at cornerback, measuring in on the small side (5-foot-10-3/8 and 184 pounds). Nor is he a typically fluid athlete, recording a 3-cone time of 7.
