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.
