GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers used the first of their sixth-round picks on Wisconsin offensive tackle Cole Van Lanen. Here’s a look at his five-year career with the Badgers.
Cole Van Lanen’s Stats with the Badgers
Van Lanen started 18 games at left tackle during his final two seasons, including 13 games in 2019, when he was second-team all-Big Ten, and five games in 2020, when he was first-team all-conference despite missing two games due to an undisclosed injury.
In all, the native of nearby Suamico played in 45 games with 19 starts. While he started only once in 2018, he played 560 snaps and paved the way for Jonathan Taylor’s 2,000-yard rushing season. In 2019, he helped power another 2,000-yard season by Taylor. Along with the on-the-field accolades, he was a four-time all-Big Ten selection in academics.
