GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur could not have sounded more pleased with the nine players general manager Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers personnel staff had given him during the 2020 NFL draft.
But when the second-year coach will actually see them in person and coach them on the practice fields adjacent to Lambeau Field is anybody’s guess.
“You never quite know now the draft is going to fall. I think ‘Gutey’ and his staff did a great job of making sure we got the best player available at the time. I think that’s the way you go about it,” LaFleur said during a teleconference with reporters after the draft ended Saturday night.
