Quay Walker Fantasy

The 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.

The Green Bay Packers drafted Georgia linebacker Quay Walker with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday evening. It's a bit surprising that the Packers didn't go receiver with their first pick in the first round, but the top receiving trio of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Jameson Williams were already off the board. Walker is a great athlete at 6-foot-4, 241 pounds, and he ran an impressive 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the combine in February to impress scouts. Because of his speed, the talented linebacker is excellent in coverage. However, don't expect Walker to be in the backfield often rushing the passer, which means he probably won't be very useful in IDP leagues.
