Oren Burks has the skill set to become an X-factor in the Packers’ defense

He is a bit of a forgotten man in the Green Bay Packers’ 2018 draft class. While much of the attention has been heaped upon the two cornerbacks drafted early, the three wide receivers drafted late, and the unusual selections of a punter and long snapper, third-round pick Oren Burks has received relatively little fanfare so far in the eleven days since the Packers traded up to pick him 88th overall.

However, Burks’ unusual skill set for his position makes him a candidate to make an early impact in Mike Pettine’s defense.
