Ladarius Gunter playing his way onto Packers' 53-man roster
The Green Bay Packers spent their first two picks in this year's draft on cornerbacks. With the 30th-overall selection the Packers took Damarious Randall out of Arizona State; a round later they picked up Miami (Ohio) product Quinten Rollins.
And yet it's an undrafted rookie who has stood out the most at the cornerback position, so far. Through two preseason games, former Miami Hurricane Ladarius Gunter has earned a higher Pro Football Focus grade than any other player on the Packers' roster (+3.3), according to Ryan Wood of Press-Gazette Media.
#Packers UDFA CB LaDarius Gunter had highest grade on defense or offense, a +3.3 overall per @PFF. He's acing every test this preseason.

Gunter, 23, may have started out as a long shot to make the team, but his play has been impossible to ignore. He has defended four passes, including one he intercepted, through two preseason exhibitions.
If Gunter keeps up this level of play, he'll make the Packers' 53-man roster for the 2015 season.
