Auburn DL Colby Wooden selected by Green Bay Packers in NFL Draft

Colby Wooden has officially been selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, headed to the Green Bay Packers at No. 116 overall in the fourth round. 

Height: 6-5

Weight: 258

What he does well

Freak athleticism and speed, and is consistent with getting pressure on the Quarterback. Colby doesn’t let opposing defenders block him for long before he’s creating chaos in the backfield. He has shown versatility along the defensive line which NFL scouts will love, and is amazingly agile for a player his size.

What he needs to work on

Most of his weaknesses come against the run, as he’s slow to plug holes while trying to locate the quarterback. Sacks are his first priority and it shows when the play starts.

He also gets bullied by blockers who are quick with their hands and can move the lane where they want it, so run disruption will need work wherever he lands. Some teams might want him to bulk up a bit as most EDGE rushers in the NFL are around a healthy 265 pounds.
