“He’s a complete professional,” Packers’ offensive line coach James Campen said of JC Tretter. “The guy does everything right. Just a true professional player.”
As he enters his fourth season in Green Bay, Tretter’s professionalism has been on display in a number of ways, first and foremost via his perseverance through injuries.
As a rookie fourth-round draft pick out of Cornell in 2013, Tretter suffered a nasty ankle injury in the first OTA practice of the spring. After an arduous rehab, he finally returned to practice in mid-November and was on the active roster in early December, but he never played a snap in a game.
