Packers select LB Tariq Carpenter with 228th pick of 2022 NFL Draft

After trading back in round five with the Denver Broncos, the Green Bay Packers would end up with four selections in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The first of those four came at number 228 overall, a pick that the Packers acquired from the Houston Texans last August in exchange for cornerback Ka’Dar Hollman.

With that 228th selection, the Green Bay Packers found some depth for their defense and special teams, selecting linebacker Tariq Carpenter from Georgia Tech. Carpenter is yet another draft pick in this year’s class who took an official visit to Green Bay this offseason, joining Devonte Wyatt, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs in that category.
