A surprise name has been linked to the Green Bay Packers with the draft set to begin Thursday. Sources have told Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline that Boston College offensive lineman Zion Johnson is a name to watch for in the first round. The Packers currently own the 22nd and 28th overall selections and could use either pick to address their offensive line.
Johnson started two and a half seasons in college, mostly at left guard. In 2020, he started all 11 games at left tackle before moving back to guard for his final season.
Before arriving at Boston College, Johnson was a 0-star recruit with zero FBS offers. His first year after transferring from Davidson, he would go on to start in seven games, impressing enough coaches to earn second-team All-ACC honors.
