The 2024 NFL Combine wrapped up on Sunday in Indianapolis. Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was not in attendance for the second consecutive year, but general manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff were, watching former college players run, jump, and lift while meeting with some behind closed doors. If history is any indication, NFL Combine results will certainly play a factor in a player moving up or down the team’s draft board, especially in the first two rounds.
It should be no secret, as Gutekunst prepares for his seventh NFL draft as the top decisionmaker, that he places a premium on athleticism.
