Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
It may be stupid that the Packers are just now playing the Bears for the first time this season, but at least the game is going to matter.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has had some really good games over his up-and-down three-year NFL career.

In the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, on a Micah Parsons sack, Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt went down with an ankle injury.
