Packers double dip into Georgia’s star-studded defense during first round of 2022 draft

The last three first-round picks made by Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst all hailed from one of the most celebrated defenses in college football history.

After taking Georgia cornerback Eric Stokes at No. 29 overall last year, Gutekunst and the Packers went back to the well and double-dipped on Bulldogs, selecting linebacker Quay Walker at No. 22 overall and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt at No. 28 overall in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

Walker (6-3, 241) and Wyatt (6-2, 304) are both elite athletes who played a lot of football in Athens and thrived for Georgia’s star-studded defense during the 2021 season.
