NFL.com’s Chad Reuter picked an 11-man All-Rookie team on defense. The Green Bay Packers’ second-round picks, Edgerrin Cooper and Javon Bullard, made the squad.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the Green Bay Packers’ defense to rise above mediocrity, second-round draft picks Javon Bullard and Edgerrin Cooper must be instant-impact players.
Cooper was an All-American last season with 84 tackles, including eight sacks and an SEC-leading 17 tackles for losses. In three seasons with significant playing time, he added two interceptions and three forced fumbles. Bullard was part of Green Bay’s massive makeover at safety. Gone are Darnell Savage, Jonathan Owens and Rudy Ford, who combined to play almost 2,000 snaps last season. In their place are Xavier McKinney, the team’s big free-agent addition, and Bullard , Evan Williams and Kitan Oladapo .
