I think pairing him with Clark and Reed will be incredible. Then we also have Lowry and Slaton and a thin group last year suddenly looks deep and dynamic. I don't think teams will be running on us anymore. Got more than a little sick of watching that the last few years! Barry must be turning cartwheels right now!!

Thanks for posting the BIO's, Mark! thumbsup

Gutekunst said Wyatt is a dynamic pass rusher. "We didn't expect him to be there. We thought we lost our chance" to draft him after taking Quay with the 22nd pick. Said he could play all over the defensive line.
 
Gutekunst said that Wyatt had two or three instances that the #Packers are aware of but he said their research showed he never hit anybody or hurt anybody.

In the instance in which Devontae Wyatt was arrested and charged, Wyatt kicked in a door during an argument with a female. They were misdemeanors. Eventually, the charges were dropped. Gutekunst indicated there were two other conflicts but that were when he was younger
