GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Devonte Wyatt knows exactly how Lukas Van Ness felt last season. First-round pick. High expectations. New defensive scheme. Minimal production.
It's the same thing Wyatt went through in 2022. As the 28th pick in that year's draft, Wyatt's rookie season started slowly. But a four-game stretch to close that season that included five tackles and 1.5 sacks from the defensive tackle set him up for a much more productive second season (36 tackles, 5.5 sacks).
Van Ness' 2023 rookie season followed a similar pattern. He recorded two of his four sacks and 10 of his 32 tackles in the final month of the regular season and added five more tackles and a sack in the two playoff games.
