The Green Bay Packers went after multiple EDGE prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft, but general manager Brian Gutekunst took another swing on an extremely talented (but very risky) player, Brenton Cox Jr., in undrafted free agency.

Despite the serious off-field concerns, Cox is an impressive EDGE prospect with untapped potential.
