Peter King’s final mock draft for 2021 had the Green Bay Packers taking a fast-rising defensive player at a long-suffering position.
King, of NBC Sports, sent Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis to the Packers at No. 29 overall in his mock draft that posted Monday.
From King: “Davis is perhaps the fastest-rising defensive player in the crop over the last three months. After starting only 11 games at Kentucky, NFL teams studying his tape found the rangy sideline-to-sideline playmaker they’re valuing in linebackers these days.”
Davis (6-3, 234) was the third inside linebacker off the board in King’s mock.
