He was highly recruited out of high school before committing to the Wolverines. He was labeled a future NFL player before he was even a high school junior.Athletes like him have extreme expectations placed on them even when they’re basically just kids.Sometimes those players fall short of expectations and that is what happened to Gary at Michigan. Unlike Jadeveon Clowney before him, who also was the nation’s top recruit http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-ray-nitschke-jersey , he didn’t set highlight reels on fire. In the world of NFL scouting, that will tank your stock fast.Work ethic questions were also raised, which weren’t helped by coach Jim Harbaugh before he walked them back to advocate for Gary leading into the draft. Still, those whispers grew louder and not many thought he’d be a top 25 pick, let alone a top 12.Then came along Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. What Gutekunst saw was a rare gifted athlete that could further invigorate a pass rush he has spent the off-season rebuilding. He’s counting on Mike Pettine and the defensive staff to milk every ounce of talent out of Gary’s 280-pound frame.Whether the defensive coordinator succeeds will go a long way towards determining how history will ultimately view the 2019 draft class.

This is the most mispronounced word in the world—MSN.comNot only have you been singing karaoke poorly, you’ve also likely been pronouncing it just as badly. With offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett on board, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur turned much of his attention this week to the filling of the team’s vacant offensive line coach position. James Campen’s departure for Cleveland — followed on Friday afternoon by assistant OL coach Jeff Blasko joining his old boss with the Browns — left the Packers looking outside the organization for his replacement.Apparently the team has settled on one of the early leaders. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports, the Packers are hiring Adam Stenavich as their next offensive line coach. Stenavich was one of two individuals confirmed to have been interviewed Geronimo Allison Jersey , with former Bengals OL coach Frank Pollack being the other.This is an interesting choice for the Packers, considering that several highly-respected veteran line coaches became available this season. Stenavich has only served as an assistant offensive line coach in the NFL to this point in his career, compared to other individuals (including Pollack) who have five years of experience or more in the more senior position coaching job.The Kyle Shanahan connection between Stenavich and LaFleur surely played a part in his hiring. Stenavich had been the 49ers’ assistant OL coach, and LaFleur needed Shanahan’s permission to interview him for this job. Although Shanahan declined to allow a pair of other offensive assistants to interview for the Packers’ offensive coordinator position — Mike McDaniel and Mike LaFleur, Matt’s brother — the fact that this is an upward move for Stenavich surely is the reason Shanahan permitted him to pursue the position.Stenavich is a native of Marshfield Kevin King Jersey White , Wisconsin, and spent some time on the Packers’ practice squad as a player in 2006.As mentioned above, former Packers assistant OL coach Jeff Blasko is moving to Cleveland to take the same position with the Browns. The Packers also saw another offensive assistant get a new job on Friday, as pass game coordinator Jim Hostler agreed to become the Carolina Panthers’ wide receivers coach.
