Packers GM on 3 rookie safeties: ‘Very aggressive, downhill players that will hit you’

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst believes all three of his rookie safeties — Javon Bullard, Evan Williams and Kitan Oladapo — fit into the category of assertive, aggressive and physical players at the position, and that was by design for the Packers in the 2024 draft.

“They’re all very aggressive, downhill players that will hit you. That’s certainly something we were looking for,” Gutekunst said in a sit down with Packers.com.

Over and over again, decision-makers for the Packers have used the phrase “run and hit” when describing new additions on defense.
