Packers hosted a top secret QB on pre-draft visit

One little nugget of information to keep in mind with the 2026 NFL draft approaching: the Green Bay Packers hosted a quarterback on a pre-draft visit, per Bill Huber of Packers on SI, but Huber was "asked to not report" the name -- potentially providing a mystery target for a team likely hunting for a developmental quarterback in this draft.

The Packers hosted Texas Tech's Behren Morton on a pre-draft visit, but Morton is a late Day 3 or undrafted free agent type. Given the nature of Huber's report, the mystery quarterback is likely a draftable player at the position, and the Packers likely don't want the team's interest in the player to be widely known.

Green Bay hasn't drafted a quarterback since taking Sean Clifford in the fifth round in 2023. After losing Malik Willis in free agency, the Packers are likely re-entering the developmental quarterback market in 2026.

Who could the top secret visitor be?

Could it be Ty Simpson, a likely late first-round pick or Day 2 option? The Packers could have used a visit on Simpson to prepare in case of a fall down the draft board.

Could it be Drew Allar, a highly touted three-year starter who is coming off a significant injury? Checking out his injured left ankle could necessitate a visit.

Could it be Cole Payton, the left-handed star from North Dakota State who missed time in 2024 with a shoulder injury and has just one year of starting experience?

Could it be Carson Beck, a 43-game starter who finished 37-6 in his career but also had UCL surgery on his throwing elbow?
