Just thought I'd post a quick note for any of my fellow Packers fans out there. We've all been hoping that University of Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo would be the man that we take in the draft in April. It was reported by Espn.com that Packers President and CEO Ted Thompson was at the University of Texas pro day where star defensive end Brian Orakpo was among the players working out there.
Orakpo finished last year with 38 tackles 16.5 of which were for a loss, and added 11.5 sacks and hurried the quarterback 15 times and forced 4 fumbles. Orakpo is projected to become an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, which is what the Packers will be switching over to this year.
