Colleges all across the country are holding their commencement ceremonies this month, and a few Green Bay Packers players are participating after completing their degree requirements. Typically, this would consist of draft picks or rookies who are earning their diplomas, but this year it is a pair of veteran Packers who are making news for earning their degrees in the offseason.
In recent years, however, the Packers have drafted players who were barred from participating in OTAs due to their schools being on the quarter system. This was especially common with draft picks from Pac-12 schools, which seem to use that schedule more than colleges in other parts of the country.
