The Green Bay Packers have now made their fifth selection on day three of the 2023 NFL Draft. Early on Saturday, the Packers snagged a defensive tackle in Colby Wooden, then they went back to offense in the fifth round for quarterback Sean Clifford and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks.
That set up the Packers for their first of two sixth-round choices with the 179th selection, and with that pick they have drafted Karl Brooks, a defensive lineman from Bowling Green State University.
At 6-foot-3 and over 300 pounds, Brooks played primarily as a stand-up edge rusher in college, a fascinating choice for a player of his stature.
