Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 87.89 (Long-term starter)
Pro Comparison: Smaller Marcell Dareus
Strengths:
Large, wide-bodied dancing bear who wins with power, decently deceptive quicks, and some pass-rushing moves. Plays with astounding pop on first contact. Can play 1T if needed. Good bull rush but actually his hand work is more impressive. Occasionally will win through the line with his first step.
Weaknesses:
Not a tremendous run defender, and while he can get lateral across the line, his pursuit speed is only slightly above-average. Not a pass-rush move master. Mostly won with first-step quickness in college. He'll have to diversify his rushes in the NFL.
Accolades:
- 2021: CFP national champion
- 2021: All-America second team

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Agrees to rookie deal
Wyatt agreed to sign a four-year, $12.86 million contract with the Packers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wyatt went to the Packers with the 28th overall pick in the draft, and he's the first 2022 first-rounder to agree to terms with his team. The 24-year-old ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at the combine and should have a chance to carve out a role on Green Bay's defensive line as a rookie.

Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Goes to Green Bay in first round
The Packers selected Wyatt in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 28th overall.
The Packers exit the first round with no wide receivers, and both of their selections were Georgia defenders; linebacker Quay Walker at 22nd overall and now Wyatt. Wyatt (6-foot-3, 304 pounds) is more of a gap-shooting tackle than one who takes on double teams, but with a 4.77-second 40 he has the burst to thrive in a gap-splitting role.
