– Green Bay Packers guard Simon Stepaniak, a 2020 draft pick who missed the last two practices of training camp for personal reasons, has decided to retire.
As a senior team captain in 2019, he started 10 games at right guard and one at left guard to earn a third-team nod on the all-Big Ten team.
The Packers drafted him in the sixth round last year, anyway, knowing that his rookie season would the be the equivalent of a redshirt year as he rehabbed the injury.
Stepaniak is a physical powerhouse who made Bruce Feldman’s annual “Freaks” list while at Indiana.
I think I can get the job done, whatever’s asked of me, and hopefully I continue to show that as I continue playing and other people get eyes on me.
To me, because of his athletic ability and his strength, I think he can thrive in any type of scheme.
With Pro Bowl left guard Elgton Jenkins sliding out to left tackle, Ben Braden and Jon Runyan have continued to cycle in with the No.
