GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers selected University of Wisconsin offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen with the first of their sixth-round picks.
Getting the phone call will be an unforgettable moment for the native of the Green Bay native of Suamico.
“The calls that I was getting, this one came up as ‘scam likely’ on my phone,” Van Lanen said. “I saw it was a Green Bay number and I answered it and I wasn’t even expecting it to be (GM Brian) Gutekunst and (coach) Matt LaFleur. I just couldn’t believe it. They said, ‘How would you love to be a Packer?’ and I was just absolutely stoked.”
Prospects of the week: RBs Elijah Mitchell, Jaret Patterson are Day 3 options
If Giants look for a running back on Day 3, could one of these players be the guy?

Each Friday for the past several weeks, I have been featuring a ‘Prospect of the Week’ leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft. Today, you get a special treat. I’m double-dipping, giving you two prospects for the price of one (free, anyway!!) who could be of interest to the New York Giants a few weeks from now.
I have been focused recently on the idea that the Giants need to add at least one more running back to their stable behind Saquon Barkley and Devontae Booker, whether that is in the draft or via finding a low-cost veteran free agent.
