With lucrative fifth-year options looming, big seasons are ahead for the Green Bay Packers' 2022 first-round picks, Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers, to the surprise of no one, did not exercise the fifth-year option for cornerback Eric Stokes earlier this month.
After playing as one of two off-the-ball linebackers in the old 3-4 scheme, Walker lined up as the middle linebacker in Hafley’s base 4-3 alignment at Packers OTAs on Tuesday. “This guy is very dialed in,” linebackers coach Anthony Campanile said before OTAs. “I’m very excited for him, and I think he’s trying to do things the right way. He’s a really, really talented guy, and beyond that he’s a great person. He really is like a great guy to be around – got the right attitude, is driven and wants to be great. He’s really trying to be very, very detailed in the meeting room, on the field. So, to continue to do that, I would say, is the No.
The fifth-year option is available only to first-round picks, with the decision made after the player’s third season. The salary is fully guaranteed.
