NFL Combine Interviews: Packers are doing their homework on Waukesha native Joe Schobert

Despite his humble beginnings, Joe Schobert is ready to get his NFL career started, and Green Bay has expressed interest in the Wisconsin native.

If the Green Bay Packers want a linebacker who can rush the passer, play the run, and cover in space, they may not need to look very far from home.

Wisconsin linebacker Joe Schobert was a big play machine in Madison over the past two years, and he will look to bring that splash ability to the NFL. A bit on the smaller side for an edge rusher at 6' 1-3/8" and 244 pounds, Schobert, who played on the outside in Wisconsin's 3-4 defense, said that some 3-4 teams have approached him about moving inside at the NFL level.
