Pro football: Packers were the right fit for former OSU lineman Lane Taylor

Lane Taylor had a hunch his best shot at making an NFL roster was signing with the Green Bay Packers.

If the All-Big 12 offensive lineman from Oklahoma State needed additional motivation, it arrived two weeks ago. He was with his wife for 22 hours of labor when their daughter was born late in training camp.

Over the weekend, Taylor learned he made the Packers' 53-man roster.

“This is a dream come true,” Taylor said in a phone interview with The Oklahoman. “Since I was a little kid I dreamed about being in the NFL. I am so blessed and so grateful for this opportunity.”
