And thank goodness for that.
It was the first day of the 2019 NFL draft. The Green Bay Packers owned the twelfth pick in the first round. It was their highest position in round one in eleven years. They had to succeed on this one. The pressure was on.
General Manager Brian Gutekunst was in his second year of making the final choices. As the Packers went on the clock, Commissioner Roger Goodell strode to the podium and announced Green Bay had selected..........Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary.
Packer fans emitted a collective gasp. TV commentators immediately condemned the selection as a reach.
