Packers selected Missouri LB Ty’Ron Hopper with the No. 91 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

27 April 2024

Hopper (6’2/231) was named a captain leading into 2023 and was reasonably productive over his first 10 games until sustaining a shoulder injury that cost him the remainder of the year. He managed to record 55 tackles, 6.0 TFL, and 3.0 sacks in that time frame while receiving Second Team All-SEC honors for his play. He’s most comfortable bringing heat up the middle and breaking forward in run support, but his fills can be inconsistent and he’s lacking the upper body mass to stand up to pulling linemen. While Hopper has the juice to run with both running backs and tight ends, he can sometimes abandon his coverage area in the zone. A weakside linebacker with ample special teams experience, Hopper has the athleticism to carve out a role in the NFL and possibly challenge for regular playing time if he can take to NFL coaching.
