Green Bay picked up Jake as an OLB in the 4th round. Better get working on that flow, Jake.

The Packers have had a Wolverine drought since Wood left. Love the pick for us. Jake can complement Matthews on the outside or Sam Barrington on the inside. Heck of a replacement for Hawk.

AJ Hawk is gone Matthews is still in his late 20's, but he feels like he's in his 30's on the verge of retirement. I think Jake has a long career with GB.

I congratulated Jake & asked if he was going to grow his hair back to match his old lookalike/new teammate, he just laughed and said thanks. I guess that's a no comment :)

a contender with a huge need at middle linebacker in a 3-4. What a tremendous opportunity for JMFR. Very happy for him.

First Michigan player to be drafted by the Packers in 38 years.

Last was LB John Anderson going #26 overall in 1978.

Green Bay has drafted 27 Wolverines all-time, only second to the Lions who have drafted 29.

Prefect fit. Off they didn't draft him (as a team) I'm not sure where he'd have been picked.

Yes as a packers fan, I'm excited. He could learn from Matthews or if he gets good enough, move Matthews inside again

Skills that make him a Nightmare for people like you. If your Quarterback just takes a knee that will be the end of it. He will not look for him, he will not pursue him. But if he doesn't, he will look for him, he will find him, and he will sack him.

Very happy for JMFR. Perfect landing spot for him. GB has shown consistent ability in drafting and developinng players and their scheme fits him perfectly.
