Packers Sign First-Rounder Quay Walker
3 years agoThe Green Bay Packers signed first-round linebacker Quay Walker to his rookie deal on Thursday. The No. 22 overall pick signed shortly after the team signed their other first-rounder, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, to a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $12.86 million with a $6.533 million signing bonus. Walker and Wyatt were two of five Georgia defensive players taken in the first round of this year's draft. Both the five Georgia defensive players and 15 total Bulldog players taken this year were records for the modern-draft era. Walker is considered a above-average coverage linebacker, so he's unlikely to become an IDP stud for fantasy managers in Green Bay.
