Biography:
Pro
2007:
Placed on season-ending injured reserve on Oct. 30, just a few weeks after he rushed for an eye-opening 78 yards on 13 carries against the Chicago Bears at warm and humid Lambeau Field. He sustained leg cramps early in that game, and he never was the same after. ... After gaining 37 yards on 13 carries in a starting role against Washington Oct. 14, Wynn injured his shoulder on his only carry of the game against Denver Oct. 29 and never saw the field again. ... Finished third on the team with 203 yards rushing on 50 carries (4.1 avg. per carry) and four touchdowns. ... Selected with first of two seventh round picks (228th overall) by Packers in NFL draft on April 29.

College

Part-time starter the past two seasons, leading Florida in rushing as a senior with 143/699/6. Junior totals were 130/620/7. Averaged more than 4.8 yards per carry the past two seasons.

Pos:

Strong runner who flashes the ability to take over games. Powerful, picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact and falls forward when tackled.

Picks up blocking assignments.
