GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The Green Bay Packers 2023 draft class has arrived at Lambeau Field for the first weekend of rookie minicamp.
The team posted a video on Twitter showing the rookies getting their first looks at their lockers and seeing their names on Packers practice uniforms.
Rookie quarterback, Sean Clifford will now be using former Packer Aaron Rodgers’s old locker and told ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, “When I came on my Top 30 visit, I got to come in here and see the locker with Aaron’s name on it, and first and foremost, I’m just blessed to be a Green Bay Packer and be in the NFL, and secondly, I understand who was in here before, and I respect everything about that, but at the same time, I came in, found my name on the plate, and sat down.”

This class has been graded as one of the best draft classes in recent team history due to several players having big upsides and the team getting great value during the later rounds.
Lukas Van Ness, the Packers’ first-round choice, took the field for the first time as a Packer Friday morning, giving the media and fans their first glimpse at the young prospect.
