Aaron Ripkowski is a Green Bay Packer

Aaron Ripkowski will now have a chance to enter the same backfield as arguably the best quarterback in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers. He was drafted as the number 206 pick overall in the 6th round.

Several quick observations on Ripkowski

1. I would hate to hit him

2. I would hate to be hit by him.

Ripkowski is a devastating lead blocker who has some surprising skills in the passing game.

Ripkowski was easily one of my favorite players to ever play at OU. Starting as a walk-on Ripkowski earned a scholarship and is a tireless worker.

Provided he remains injury free, it wouldn't shock me to see him spend at least a decade in the NFL.
