Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Mike Daniels, and David Bakhtiari; all of these players were fourth-round draft picks by the Green Bay Packers and have “Pro Bowler” on their NFL résumés. The Packers have also found a wealth of starters in that round of the NFL Draft since Ted Thompson was hired as general manager in 2005, with names like Brady Poppinga, Davon House, JC Tretter, Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez, Dean Lowry, Jamaal Williams, and most recently Royce Newman all becoming key members of the team.
Now, although the Packers are just two practices into training camp for the 2022 season, the team’s two fourth-rounders in this latest draft are getting opportunities to make their marks early on as they try to follow a similar trajectory to the names mentioned above.
