The Green Bay Packers made a notable addition in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Oklahoma State hybrid defensive end and linebacker Collin Oliver with their fifth-round pick. At 6'1" and 240 pounds, Oliver is recognized for his explosiveness and versatility, which allows him to excel as an edge rusher and designated pass rusher, as well as an off-ball linebacker. During his collegiate career, Oliver showcased impressive stats, including 40.5 tackles for loss and 23.5 sacks, establishing himself as a disruptive force on defense. He earned Freshman All-American recognition in 2021 and was a three-time All-Big 12 selection. However, concerns surrounding a foot injury that sidelined him for ten games in 2024 have led to cautious evaluations regarding his potential as a full-time starter. The Packers see him contributing immediately on special teams while developing his skills further in both linebacker and rush roles.
