GREEN BAY — Oren Burks isn’t about to change who he is or what he believes in. To him, what he stands for — his dedication to public service, his commitment to making a difference in his community, and his awareness of the need for more young people like him to engage in social causes — is too important to simply focus on football.
That said, the Green Bay Packers rookie third-round pick from Vanderbilt is also too smart not to find a balance between his job — playing inside linebacker for the Packers — and his passion.
