Packers veterans, coaches talk up first-round pick Lukas Van Ness

It’s only June and the pads won’t come on until training camp in late July, but early impressions are strong of Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick Lukas Van Ness.

In a video posted from the team’s official Twitter account, veteran edge rushers Rashan Gary and Preston Smith, pass-rush specialist Jason Rebrovich and defensive coordinator Joe Barry all had good things to say about the rookie.

“Lukas is going to be one hell of a player for us,” Gary said.

“He has a lot of things that can help this team,” Smith said.
