The Packers have signed two more picks from their 2021 draft class, adding defensive lineman T.J. Slaton and running back Kylin Hill to their list according to a report from ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. That brings their total to three after sixth-round pick Cole Van Lanen signed earlier today.
At first glance, neither Slaton or Hill would seem to be among the players you’d expect to make a big impact as rookies. Both were Day 3 picks, and neither was especially heralded as a collegiate player, though they had their moments.
But both are walking into situations where they’re already on the plus side of the numbers game.
