The Green Bay Packers selected North Carolina State’s Anthony Belton (74) in the second round.
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has built solid offensive lines throughout his time.
And Gutekunst added another offensive lineman to the mix Friday.
The Packers selected mammoth offensive tackle Anthony Belton of North Carolina State in the second round of the NFL Draft. Belton stands 6-foot-6, weighs 336 pounds, has arms that are 33 7/8” and hands that are 10 ¼”.
Belton was a four-year starter at left tackle with the Wolfpack, but many scouts see him as a guard because he can engulf defenders.
Belton’s nicknamed is “Escalade” due to his tremendous size. But his toughness and urgency have been questioned.
The Packers used one of their 30 NFL Draft prospect visits on Belton.
Green Bay offensive linemen Zach Tom, Sean Rhyan and Rasheed Walker are all entering contract years. So even if Belton can’t win a starting job in 2025, he’ll improve the Packers’ depth and could step into the lineup in 2026.
