more from Dane Brugler -  pre draft on Wyatt

. Wyatt took advantage of the extra year of NCAA eligibility because of COVID and returned for his fifth season in 2021.. competes through the whistle and several of his plays on tape were a result of his non-stop effort ... chases from the backside and is always in pursuit ... sound awareness to quickly locate screens or find passing lanes ... blocked a field goal as a senior
... his level of play consistently increased
throughout his college career.

Wyatt is coming into a really sweet set up for a rookie DL.

Montgomery is a talented DL coach, there are vets to mentor him and a loaded DB room to give him time to get home. The presence of Reed, Clark, Lowery, Slaton means the Packers don't need  him to be a superstar right away

On passing downs - he'll be flanked by Clark, Gary and Smith - that's a pretty solid pressure package. Teams can't double all of em, so Devonte will have his chances.

“Not really,” Wyatt replied when asked if he felt OK about how performance so far in camp. “Mindset-wise, it's not OK because I do want to develop fast and be on the field with the guys and experience that. But I'm not trying to rush it, because if I rush it, I'm going to keep (expletive) up

“I’ve just got to take my time, be patient, take it step-by-step and just detail after detail. The predicament I'm in right now, I'm not mad because I got the guys in front of me, (and I’m) learning from them. And when my time comes, I know I'm going to shine. My wings are going to open.”

“A lot of guys tell me, don't put pressure on yourself because when you put pressure on something, you'll mentally break,” Wyatt said. “We’ve got a long season and I'm not trying to put pressure on myself, but I am at the same time because I want to prove that I'm supposed to be here. And I want to be one of the greats.”

Wyatt also admitted that in college at Georgia it took him awhile to get acclimated... his college career took off once he got comfortable, the game started slowing down for him and he started playing instead of thinking as much on each play as he is now.

“I just think a lot when I get on the field and I'm like, ‘What’ve I got to do?' So I'm always all over the place,” Wyatt said. “But once it all clicks in, it'll be better.





I long time ago, Goalline taught me the unfortunate reality:  it takes time to develop as an NFL DL - that's just part of the deal. College DL thrive on their superior athleticism, NFL DL thrive on their technique, the mental game, hand & foot work, being consistent, having a plan and understanding a thicker playbook.

Wyatt is drinking from the firehose right now...

Ain’t  no way I’m dying in a car wreck as long as I have Brutus:

My first reaction was I need a tetanus to just get near it. 

Then I realized that the rust itself would protect me - so it started looking better. 

Then finally it occurred to me that BK took a really nice white car and used some spray-on rust with a few dents here and there - just so no one would steal it.

Or a nagging mother-in-law in the back seat...

Your Mamma's yapping in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency
Well this morning I ain't fighting tell her I give up
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
But it's the last time that she's gonna be riding with me
