The Green Bay Packers evidently had their newest player that no one actually knew about with Deuce Domingez joining the team, or at least that's what he told everyone. The House of Highlights played a prank on fans in Nashville during draft weekend, having “Deuce Domingez” walk around and greet fans saying he was just drafted by the Packers.

Domingez said that he was an offensive lineman, which was a Packers need heading into the draft and he has the size to be an NFL player, so he at least looked the part.
Of course, the Packers drafted Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage in the first round and didn't take an offensive lineman until their second-round pick when they selected Elgton Jenkins out of Mississippi State.

“Efficient if unexciting prospect with the size, power and length at center to match with a variety of interior challengers across from him. Jenkins has the core strength to handle down and base blocking duties, but he could leave offensive line coaches wanting more if asked to handle challenging blocks in space. His tape against the best SEC's best teams over his last two seasons indicates an ability to become an effective, early NFL starter.”
Jenkins wasn't in Nashville during the draft weekend, but it would have been interesting to see if he would have gotten as good of a reception as Domingez did.
