The Packers made a couple additions on the offensive side of the ball on the second day of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Green Bay used their second-round pick (No. 62 overall) on Ohio State center Josh Myers before trading up in the third round to grab Clemson wide receiver Amari Rodgers at pick No. 85.

According to NFL.com, Myers is 6-foot-5 and weighs 310 pounds. Rodgers is 5-foot-9 1/2 and weighs 212 pounds.
