The Green Bay Packers have a crowded safety room for the 2023 season, but seventh-round pick Anthony Johnson Jr. out of Iowa State will be looking to stand out and carve out a role of his own as a rookie.
In a less-than-ideal safety class in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Packers opted to wait until the end of the three-day event to take a player at the position. While Johnson didn’t have the name recognition of some of the other prospects like Brian Branch or Jordan Battle, it was still a bit of a surprise to see him fall all the way to the seventh round.
