Packers agree to deal with Josiah Deguara to wrap up draft class

The Packers are done signing their 2020 draft picks.

Field Yates of ESPN reports that third-round tight end Josiah Deguara has agreed to a four-year deal with the team. He was the only remaining unsigned member of the nine-player class.

Deguara caught 92 passes for 1,117 yards and 12 touchdowns over his four years at the University of Cincinnati. The 92 catches are a school record for tight ends.

Receiving ability wasn’t all that caught the Packers’ eye when they scouted Deguara. Head coach Matt LaFleur showed film of Deguara chasing down a UCLA defender to make a tackle following an interception to illustrate the kind of effort that he’s looking for from his players.
