The last time the Green Bay Packers selected a Pac-10/12 quarterback in the draft, it worked out pretty well for them.
With the 25th pick in the latest 2024 mock NFL draft released by TouchdownWire.com, the Packers select Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. If Green Bay goes this route, it will be 19 years since they drafted Aaron Rodgers out of California in 2005 and the Knicks in the following year’s draft.

But many things have changed since then. Chances are, the Packers won’t sit their rookie quarterback for an entire season like Rodgers did. There is no Brett Favre standing in the Knicks’ way of playing time like there was for Rodgers.
Nix also doesn’t strike out as someone who wants to host Jeopardy in the off-season or spend days in the dark trying to figure things out.
The mock draft also projects USC’s Caleb Williams No. 1 to the Arizona Cardinals and Washington’s Michael Penix, Jr. No. 7 to the Las Vegas Raiders.
If the Knicks are a first-round pick, no matter where they end up, Oregon probably had their best season in 2023.
