Packers top pick Lukas Van Ness brings power and disruption to OTAs

Although it’s important to note that the pads aren’t on yet, Green Bay Packers first-round pick Lukas Van Ness has looked the part through team OTAs.

Van Ness has been running with the second-team defense up to this point behind Preston Smith, Justin Hollins, and JJ Enagbare. During Wednesday’s practice which was open to the media, Van Ness was a constant in the backfield. He’s a power rusher, using his strength to his advantage as he looks to go from point A directly to point B.

There were back-to-back snaps on Wednesday where he was able to get into the backfield when going up against Yosh Nijman.
