The Green Bay Packers are planning to have seventh-round pick Tariq Carpenter start his NFL career at the inside linebacker position. Carpenter, the 228th overall pick, played 52 games at Georgia Tech, mostly at safety.
In Green Bay, he’ll get a chance to be a hybrid player.
“Tariq, we’re going to move him to the inside linebacker room. He’s a big guy, but he can run,” coach Matt LaFleur told Packers.com.
