Green Bay Packers defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery made it known pre-draft that he wanted a twitchy interior pass-rusher added to his group. General manager Brian Gutekunst delivered the order in full when he used a first-round pick on Georgia’s Devonte Wyatt.
“You’d love to add a high-level third-down pass rusher,” Montgomery said in April. “A little bit more twitchy of a guy that can add to the rush from the inside standpoint.”
Wyatt fits the bill. In fact, it’s possible Wyatt was exactly who Montgomery was thinking of when he described what he wanted Gutekunst to get in the draft.
