GREEN BAY – For years in Green Bay, the opening reps of the one-on-one period between the offensive line and defensive front have often set the tone for the drill.
It's where David Bakhtiari once battled Clay Matthews and Kenny Clark first locked horns with Corey Linsley for a couple snaps, before giving way to other young linemen looking to hone their skills and possibly catch the eye of the coaching staff.
Yosh Nijman has seen both sides. Once an undrafted free agent trying to make the 53, the 6-foot-7, 314-pound tackle has now graduated to the opening act responsible for stymieing the top edge-rushing tandem of Rashan Gary and Preston Smith in the one-on-one period.
