Packers seventh-round OT Andrew Datko saw first-team reps for a "brief stretch" in offseason practices.
Viewed as an early-round talent before ongoing shoulder issues ended his 2011 season, Datko alternated between left and right tackle in OTAs and minicamp. Feeling healthier entering training camp than he has in a couple of years, Datko could make a quick move up the depth chart. Tue, Jul 3, 2012 02:21:00 PM

Packers agreed to terms with No. 241 overall pick OT Andrew Datko on a four-year contract.

Datko was a rare true freshman all-American at left tackle for Florida State, but ongoing left shoulder woes plagued his junior and senior seasons. Viewed as a second-day prospect before surgery ended his 2011 season early, Datko now insists his shoulder has never felt better. He's a worthwhile low-risk, high-reward late-round pick by Green Bay.

Packers selected Florida State LT Andrew Datko with the No. 241 overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Datko had borderline first-round grades from NFL scouts entering his senior season. He underwent shoulder surgery during the 2011 spring, however, and reinjured the shoulder during the year. Datko stands 6-foot-6, 315 and has fairly long arms at 33 7/8 inches. A 40-game starter in college, all of them came at left tackle for Datko. He's absolutely worth the "risk" late in round seven. Datko could emerge as a future starter if he gets the shoulder right.
