Look: Green Bay Packers release official NFL Draft hat

The Green Bay Packers now know what hat their top draft picks will wear while walking across the stage at the 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas, Nevada. New Era and the NFL released the uniform design, via NFL writer Andy Herman, along with the specific details of each team hat on Monday morning with less than one month until the festivities begin.

The 2022 edition keeps a clean and simple design with the words Green Bay written over the word Packers, with the top layer yellow and the bottom layer green. The black base of the hat features a green bill and the New Era logo on the side. Based on images of other team hats, the design will likely feature the NFL logo on the opposite side and the Packers signature G logo on the back.

If the team opts to keep both picks, including its own and the one acquired from the Raiders in exchange for wide receiver Davante Adams, two players will wear the Packers hat on night one of the NFL Draft.

Packers reveal draft strategy

After the Green Bay Packers’ loss of two of their top three receivers from the 2021 season, it’s no surprise that head coach Matt LaFleur is looking to the 2022 NFL Draft to make up for the lost talent.

“Certainly, if you look at our roster right now, we definitely need to get some speed in that room,” LaFleur said Tuesday at owner’s meetings in Palm Beach, Florida. “We need a legit guy that can take off the top of the coverage. We lost a guy that was pretty good at doing that.”

The Packers return second-leading receiver Allen Lazard, along with Randall Cobb, but traded Davante Adams and lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Chiefs in free agency. Lazard posted 1,000 fewer yards than Adams and no one else was even close to the new Browns wideout’s 169 targets.

“It’s like putting a puzzle together; you’ve got to find those pieces that you’re missing and put it all together,” LaFleur added. “How that’s going to look in the end? I have no idea right now.”
