Putting Athletic Gifts Together, Nijman Pushes for Roster Spot

GREEN BAY, Wis. – It took until his third training camp with the Green Bay Packers, but the raw materials possessed by Yosh Nijman have come together to produce a capable offensive tackle.

Nijman went undrafted in 2019 despite a quality resume. At Virginia Tech, he was a 32-game starter at both tackle spots. At the Scouting Combine, he showed elite traits. At 6-foot-6 3/4 and 314 pounds, Nijman ran his 40 in 4.88 seconds and his 20-yard shuttle in 4.50 seconds. Among the 2019 class of offensive tackles, he ranked second in Relative Athletic Score.
