Earlier this week, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst gave a list of reasons for why future draft choices may be brought in by the team for pre-draft visits. Gutekunst stated that the majority come to Green Bay “answering a question” that the Packers have on their scouting report. For some, it’s football questions or off-the-field situations. For others, it’s the fact that they weren’t invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, meaning that the team doesn’t have a medical report on hand for the player.
With all that in mind, I’ve been calling sources this week to try to figure out why exactly some players were brought in on pre-draft visits by the Packers.
