It was no suprise the Green Bay Packers spent two of their first four picks on offensive linemen. After losing Corey Linsley, Rick Wagner, and Lane Taylor in the offseason, they certainly needed more depth heading into the 2021 season.

With the 142nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Packers may have gotten a steal in athletic offensive lineman, Royce Newman.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle out of Ole Miss started for two years in college, one season at guard and another at tackle. He only allowed two sacks in 430 pass block reps as the Rebels right tackle in 2020, and only allowed one sack in 416 pass block reps at guard in 2019.

Newman's versatility to play guard or tackle on both sides of the line certainly brings immediate value to the Packers roster. However, he also possesses plenty of traits to get excited about, making him an intriguing player for Green Bay to develop in the years to come.

After watching four games from this 2020 season (Alabama, LSU, South Carolina, and Indiana), and two games from his 2019 season (Alabama, Arkansas), here is what stands out about Newman's game.
