He has a knack for getting to the quarterback. He’s got speed and tenacity.” Finished with 191 tackles (39 ½ for loss), 21 ½ sacks and 3 forced fumbles. “The strength of my game is my motor and working hard,” Biegel said. “I’ll bring that and then some to Green Bay.

Returned to start nine of 10 games as a senior, missing several games with ankle injuries. “He’s a guy that can hammer ‘em,” said Jon-Eric Sullivan, the team’s director of college scouting. “It takes a toll on a defense. We were a little bit surprised he was still there.” Finished with 726 rushes for 3,901 (5.4) and 35 touchdowns. Also caught 60 passes for 567 (9.5) and 1 TD. “Aggressive, downhill runner,” Sullivan said. “Built to last. He complements the guy we already have (Ty Montgomery) here. He’s all football.

Arms were 31 1/4, has big hands (10). “I feel I can be a workhorse,” said Williams. “I felt Green Bay would be a good spot for me. They really don’t have a lot of backs.” Wonderlic of 20.

He plays much faster than the 4.5.” Finished with 141 receptions for 2,344 (16.6) and 20 TDs. “Really confident player,” Wolf said. “Sometimes with guys that don’t get invited to the combine you don’t always see that. I thought he was a player from day one.” Vertical jump of 35½, broad jump of 10-1 and an outstanding 21 reps on the bench. “I feel I can separate downfield and I have great ball skills,” said Yancey. “I had no idea (if he’d be drafted).

Started two of four games at RT in 2014 and all 26 games at LT the past two seasons. “James Campen (offensive line coach) does a great job of taking linemen and moving them,” GM Ted Thompson said. “Tackles to guards, guards to center. We’ve had a lot of success with that.” Highly athletic testing numbers at Bulls’ pro day. Vertical jump of 33½ and broad jump of 9-6, but just 22 reps on the bench. “My strength is my athleticism,” Amichia said. “My suddenness off the ball.

Returned later in the season only to suffer reinjury. “I had really big plans of doing great things,” Mays said. “Second game it took a huge turn. I was never really able to overcome the injury. Everything went down the drain.” Finished with 202 carries for 1,225 (6.1) and 12 TDs. Just two receptions for 17 yards. “I catch the ball well,” said Mays. “Obviously, that’s a big question because that hasn’t been on display at Utah State.” Workout warrior: vertical jump was 40 ½, broad jump of 10-9. Bench-pressed 22 times. “The injury knocked me off a lot of people’s radar,” Mays said. “I wasn’t able to show people what I can do.

Bench-pressed 11 times. “The best part of my game is I can play inside and outside,” said Dupre. “I’m a guy that’s smart. I can recognize defenses.” Arms were 31 ½, hands were small (9). Renounced his final year of eligibility to enter the draft, and then almost wasn’t drafted. “First and foremost, I feel ready to take the next step mentally and physically,” Dupre said. “I never had second thoughts. I know I can have impact in the NFL. I can’t wait to show everyone what I can do. It was a very long day. I’m very thankful to the Packers’ organization for picking me.” Wonderlic of 22. Agent is Rocky Arceneaux.
