GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers rookie safety Kitan Oladapo rolled up to his introductory media session at Lambeau Field on Friday.With his left foot in a boot, Oladapo pushed his way toward reporters in a scooter. A fifth-round draft pick last week, he suffered a broken big toe at the Scouting Combine. He pushed his way through workouts at the Combine and position drills at Oregon State’s pro day a couple weeks later before having surgery.
That opportunity won’t come until after this weekend’s rookie camp, three weeks of OTAs and the June minicamp. For now, Oladapo will be limited to taking mental reps so he can hit the ground running when training camp begins. Oladapo, obviously, would have been thrilled to be drafted by any team. But going to the Packers was especially rewarding for the former walk-on who blossomed into a three-year all-Pac-12 selection.“I loved Aaron Rodgers growing up,” he replied. “I did like Brett Favre, you know, Jordy Nelson, Clay Matthews. That was fun. I was 84, so I did like Sterling Sharpe when I was little.”
