News now! Fullback first of three picks in sixth round

GREEN BAY–The Packers turned to fullback in the sixth round, drafting Oklahoma’s Aaron Ripkowski with the 206th overall pick of the draft.

Ripkowski, 6-1, 257, is a blocker supreme. He carried the ball six times in 2014; three of those carries resulted in touchdowns.

He’s also been used as a tight end, so he was likely drafted for his versatility in a blocking role, and also with special teams in mind.
