Draft Pick #2 - Josh Myers - Ohio State - 6'5" - 312 lbs - Offensive Line
The loss of Corey Linsley, our starting All-Pro Center was BIG! So, will the Packers be able to fill the void? To do do, the Packers went back to Ohio State for a future lineman!

Love this story!
His grandfather played football and turned down a basketball scholarship offer to play at Cincinnati with Oscar Robertson. Myers was very close to his grandfather, who died in 2009 from Alzheimer's disease. His grandmother started a family tradition, where at the beginning of each year, she took the grandfather's old #50 football jersey, cut small squares from it, then sent the pieces to each of the grandsons, along with a letter of encouragement. Myers put the piece of jersey inside of his sock before each football game.
That little paragraph sold me!
Welcome to Green Bay - Josh Myers!
