The Green Bay Packers pick safety Morgan Burnett in the third round
The Packers have selected safety Morgan Burnett out of Georgia Tech with the 71st overall pick (3rd round) of the NFL Draft. Burnett is a solid all around safety as he supports the run strongly and he makes big plays in the passing game. Burnett played in 14 games (all starts) for Georgia Tech last season and he finished up with 85 tackles, he broke up 4 passes, had 4 interceptions, forced 1 fumble and he recovered 1 fumble. Burnett played in 40 games (28 starts) in his three years in college and he finished up with 235 tackles, he broke up 19 passes, had 14 interceptions, forced 2 fumbles and he recovered 2 fumbles. This was a solid pick for the Packers as Burnett looks like he will play strong safety in the pros.
