Quotable: "The one thing I really liked about him was he stayed on his feet. He's a really good athlete, doesn't get knocked down," Packers southeast scout Brian Gutekunst said. "He's not a 300-pound, set the point of attack guy, but he uses his length, he drops his weight, and he stays on his feet, keep things alive that some guys can't do. And he's good enough speed and range in chase when the ball's run away from him that I think he'll make plays from the backside as well."
