Most of the attention on the Green Bay Packers' offseason has been focused on the additions they have made defensively, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers is thrilled about an under-the-radar signing they made on the offensive side of the ball.

That signing is offensive lineman Billy Turner.

“The guy who won’t get a lot of pub but I’m trying to pub him every chance I can is Bill Turner,” Rodgers told Chris Simms, via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “He’s going to be a great addition for us. He is going to be a really good addition. He’s a big tough dude, fits in really well, good athlete. He can move in our system because we’re running off the ball. He’s going to be a big part of what we are doing up front because Matt wants to run the ball.”

Turner spent the 2018 campaign with the Denver Broncos, playing in all 16 games and making 11 starts. He will slot in at right guard for the Packers this coming season.

The 27-year-old, who played his collegiate football at North Dakota State, was originally selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round (67th pick overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.

He spent the first two-and-a-half seasons of his career with the Dolphins, making 14 starts before being waived. He was then picked up by the Baltimore Ravens on October 2016 but was waived after a few days.

That was when the Broncos scooped him up. He appeared in just four contests in Denver between 2016 and 2017 before taking on a significant role this past year.
