What draft experts said about new Packers linebacker Ty'Ron Hopper

Preparing to transition to a 4-3 defense next season, the Green Bay Packers added another off-ball linebacker in Missouri’s Ty’Ron Hopper at No. 91 overall during the third round. Hopper started his career at Florida but transferred after three seasons. In two years with the Tigers, he totaled 132 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, seven pass break-ups, one interception, and one forced fumble. Hopper has the desired size and physical traits for an NFL linebacker, but his struggles to get off blocks and sub-par processing skills make him a developmental project. At the very least, he should be able to help Green Bay’s ailing special teams unit early on. Here’s what several prominent draft analysts said about Hopper during the pre-draft process:
