Is there no end to the QUALITY of Packer low round picks and UDFAs?

If all of these articles and descriptions are valid, then WOW, Ted Thompson is some GM. But I hope the DEPTH of these articles and young players is Shinola, not the alternative.

I wasn't skeptical at all at first, but each new possible future star, and I get a little more so. Keep the articles coming, just the same.

His 40-yard-dash time at the NFL combine was a ho-hum 4.89 seconds, but improved to 4.69 seconds on South Florida’s pro day.
