Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers were able to host 30 prospects in their facility in Green Bay before the 2026 NFL draft.
Even general manager Brian Gutekunst can admit: the pre-draft visits are extremely valuable. Hosting a player can allow a team to check a previously unchecked box on the scouting report and gain a more complete understanding of a prospect, both as an athlete and person. And it comes as no surprise that the Packers' pre-draft visitors often find their way to Green Bay, either as draft picks or free agent signings.
Without a first-round pick in 2026, Gutekunst and the Packers focused their visits on likely Day 2, Day 3 and undrafted free agent types.
