SMU draft prospects for Packers fans to watch during College Football Playoff

The last time the Green Bay Packers drafted a player out of Southern Methodist University was 1982 when they selected kicker Eddie Garcia with the 264th overall pick.

Two prospects could be on Green Bay’s radar to end that streak. Let’s take a look at them before SMU takes on Penn State in the first round of the College Football Playoff on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT

Josh Jacobs could go down as the best offensive free agent signing in franchise history. The former Alabama running back has been a workhorse for the Packers and at 26 years old, he figures to handle the majority of carries in Green Bay for the foreseeable future.
