The Green Bay Packers are among the gold-standard franchises in the NFL. They've won multiple Super Bowls, are perennial playoff contenders and own numerous division titles. They also know what they're doing in the draft. This year, the Packers used their first-round pick on Kenneth Clark.

Clark, who is coming off his second straight All Pac-12 season, has a background in wrestling. He credits the sport for helping mold him as a football player at UCLA.



Clark, a nose tackle, was a California state qualifier at 285 pounds. Here's footage of the 27th overall pick getting a pin at the California state tournament.
