WARNING: No idea who this is or where chart it from

In terms of overall athleticism, @RashanAGary's closest comp is J.J. Watt.

When adjusting for physique, things don't look much worse. #Packers

Was Gary hurt most of his career ? Athletically he is incredibly gifted. Harv noted his issue was not motivation. He wasn't even their best rusher and at some key plays he was riding the sideline.

What was the reasoning for the lack of production (asking this seriously if anybody knows) ?

He had a shoulder injury in 2018. He was more productive in 2017.

Bill Huber thinks it could be Dr. Zaius and Gary inside. Preston Smith and Holy Fackrell outside on pass downs.

Is it time to stop referring to the Packers as a 3-4 team?

Eh. Its always been a 4 man rush on passing downs unless its 15+ yards.

Gary said he played 6-technique at Michigan and lined up over the TE. The C-gap was his responsibility. Speaking very intelligently about the Xs and Os he was asked to perform in college. #Packers

“He commanded a lot of attention at Michigan, double teams, triple teams, taking on the tight end,” college scout Joe Hueber said. “You saw it in some of his teammates. They got freed up and they were able to get production.

“It’s not like he wasn’t impacting the game. You watch him, he was all over the place, getting off blocks, and getting pressure too.”

One of those teammates was inside linebacker Devin Bush, chosen two picks ahead of Gary at No. 10 overall by Pittsburgh, who traded up for him.


Gary was projected earlier in the pre-draft process as a top 10 pick, but seeing his teammate’s stock fall a bit due to his low sack numbers and a reported shoulder injury, Bush said he thought Gary should be taken in the draft ahead of him.

In a conference call with Green Bay media, Gary said his shoulder is “110 percent” and would not need surgery. He pointed to his 26 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press at the combine as evidence of his shoulder’s health.

Hueber said the Packers have had Gary on their radar “since the day he stepped on campus.” They interviewed him at the combine and came away believing he’s a sharp, disruptive player with a passion for the game.

“I think he’s a guy who’s going to attack this,” Hueber said. “I think he’s going to take it to heart. I think it’s important to him, and because of that, the athleticism and all that is going to shine through.”

I kinda like having no expectations of him. But other than that, not really.

More of a wait and see. I think the Packers will use him a bit differently than Michigan did, so hard to project.

I was talking to my buddy on the phone tonight, and as the Packers' pick approached, we were so geeked. Everything was falling perfectly. There were still two qb's on the board if someone wanted to move up, so maybe Green Bay could move down a few spots, get an extra pick, still get a great player. Not a single offensive lineman had been taken - lots of great choices. Sweat, Burns, the Clemson d-lineman, offensive tackle of your choice - what a great selection! We were stoked.

Then the pick came in - Rashan Gary. I threw up in my mouth and started crying at the same time. It was about the only shitty move they could've made, and they made it.

What a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty pick.

Gary will be injured and ineffective. Mark my words. He was hyped beyond belief at Michigan, but you won't see highlights of him against Ohio State or against a bowl opponent - because there are none. Dude disappeared against good competition.

Gutekunst sucks. What the fuck. I am disgusted.
