NFL Draft: Josh Sitton at a glance
By JASON WILDE
608-252-6176

JOSH SITTON, DE, WAKE FOREST

6-foot-3 7/8, 321 pounds, 5.38 seconds in 40-yard dash

At a glance: Drafted 135th overall, a compensatory selection and the last pick of Round 4. ... One of the players the Packers brought in to Green Bay for a pre-draft visit. ... Good athlete with versatility, having started his senior year at right tackle, then moved inside to left guard for three games, then moved back to right tackle, the position where he started 25 games as a sophomore and junior. ... Lacks long arms and ideal height to play on the edge but Packers project him to play guard in the pros. ... Helped himself with a strong pro day. ... Blocked for running back Kevin Smith, who rushed for 2,567 yards and 29 TDs last season.

Quotable: "He'll play guard and tackle," offensive line coach James Campen said. "what attracted us the most was he brings a lot of fire, a lot of energy in his play. He's a tough guy, he plays with a good attitude. And as important as that is he'll fit in very nice with our offensive line. We had him up here for a visit and that went real well. He's our type of guy."
