skibrett15 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 hopefully not. Wisconsin players are slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think Leon Jacobs will make a better pro than college player, I mean the guy was an ILB, EDGE, FB and that's just from what I can remember. Never really had a chance to learn a position and grow, but he looks like he's quite the athlete. Would have no issue with him in the 5,6,7 rounds. Will be watching Nick Nelson at the Combine too. Good cover guy, needs to be in the 4.4s though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can't for the life of me understand how there are Packer fans who simultaneously believe "we need more speed or explosive playmakers" and "we need more players from B1G schools that aren't national brands." Like if we're looking for a B1G West NFL pipeline, there are like four decent Iowa prospects this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 2 minutes ago, CWood21 said: What is the infatuation of having Wisconsin players on the Packers' roster? I think it's driven by the fact that Wisconsin newspapers serve both Packer fans and Badger fans (there not being any other football teams at their respective levels in the state). So a column can appeal to both by speculating that these are two great tastes that taste great together, even if it makes no football sense. After all there's really no benefit to "draft the local kid" besides PR and ticket sales stuff, which isn't really a concern here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans know these guys can handle being in WI and see it as a plus - rather than the typical response from players that grew up in CA, TX, FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You become attached to them in college and thus you want to root for them in the NFL, it's pretty easy to grasp. Why do you root for the Packers players at the Pro Bowl?
