The Denver Broncos selected Washington center Luke Wattenberg in the 5th round of the 2022 NFL draft on Saturday afternoon (171st overall).
The team traded 179th overall (5th round) and 234th overall (7th round) to the Green Bay Packers to get their man, Wattenberg – a redshirt senior.
Wattenberg (6-4, 299 pounds) started 12 games at the pivot for Washington as a senior. He’s only started at center two seasons, though. But he earned an honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors during Washington’s shortened 2020 season, his first starting at the position.
