Packers tend not to stick to athletic thresholds for UDFA cornerbacks
Joshua S. Kelly-USA TODAY SportsThe Green Bay Packers rely heavily on athletic testing to help set up the early rounds of their draft board. This cannot be easily argued against, especially after Justis Mosqueda’s research this draft season has shed light on the types of players and athletic thresholds that the Packers tend to look for.
With that said, the Packers are willing to deviate from the board somewhat late in the third day of the NFL Draft and into undrafted free agency. With those picks, you are basically taking fliers on players rather than counting on any significant production, and if they turn out well, then that’s great.
