Green Bay Packers Last 10 Drafts Ranked: No. 4 Class of 2012
By Kenny Jilek
Green Bay Packers Tier 2 – Jerel Worthy, Jerron McMillian, Terrell Manning
It’s a good thing that this draft class got two Pro Bowlers because the only qualification for tier two is having played in an NFL game.
After the Green Bay Packers traded up eight spots to grab Jerel Worthy, they gave him plenty of chances in his rookie season, as he played 42 percent of defensive snaps, and he showed some promise with 4 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks but quickly fell off the map. He hasn’t played anywhere near that amount in a season since and hasn’t made a start since then either. His career ended in 2018 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his sixth team, cut him.
Jerron McMillian wasn’t around for long, but he did get his big moment, an interception in a 23-10 win over the Bears in week two of his rookie campaign. After two seasons in Green Bay, he was waived and then failed to make the Chiefs roster in 2014.
Finally, there’s linebacker Terrell Manning, who made three tackles on special teams in his rookie year but never made one again. In his four-year career, he played all of one defensive snap, which came with the Giants in 2014.
