Murray-USA TODAY SportsIt’s all about athleticism for the Green Bay Packers. Picking with the 12th overall selection Marwin Evans Jersey White , the Packers have chosen defensive lineman Rashan Gary from Michigan.Gary is very much a project, as his production for the Wolverines did not live up to his exceptional athleticism. The position he will play in Green Bay will be interesting to see, as he played as a defensive end and interior pass rusher at Michigan. With a 6-foot-4, 277-pound build http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-oren-burks-jersey , he projects better there than as a true edge rusher.At that size, however, Gary posted a ridiculous Combine workout in Indianapolis. He recorded a 4.58-second 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical Vince Biegel Jersey White , and a 10-foot broad jump, all exceptional numbers. However, a shoulder injury was a medical concern for some teams coming into the draft and it may still require surgery this year.As mentioned earlier, Gary’s production hardly jumps off the stat sheet. In three years at Michigan Womens Demetri Goodson Jersey , he recorded just 9.5 sacks and 23 tackles for loss, numbers that have been equaled by some college edge rushers in a single season. This suggests that Gary will be worked in gradually, developing him behind the Packers’ current group of players at whatever position they decide to play him.This is a high-risk, high-reward pick for the Packers. Perhaps because the team has a second first-round pick http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-davon-house-jersey , they felt that it was worth that risk at 12. The Packers have gotten some time to get used to head coach Matt LaFleur since the offseason program started earlier this month and one of the things that has come through for the players is the sense of a new beginning.LaFleur said on Tuesday that he will “always pay credit and respect” to the past successes of the Packers organization, but said that he’s focused on “making history” rather than living in it. LaFleur’s focus on now has found support from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.“I think the great thing about Matt is it’s been very clear messaging,” Rodgers said, via PackersNews.com. “He’s been great in front of the room. It’s a forward focus. It’s about building today for a better tomorrow. He’s done a great job of talking about how the most important thing is us moving forward together and having a deference and appreciation for the past.”The overall history of the Packers is a rich one Womens Tramon Williams Jersey , but missing the playoffs the last two years means the recent past hasn’t been quite as fruitful. Moving past all of it will be necessary for LaFleur to truly make a fresh start in Green Bay.
