Related Topics: Wisconsin, Green Bay Packers

According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the Green Bay Packers have Wisconsin safety Scott Nelson in town to work him out leading up to the draft. Nelson, a three-year starter with the Badgers, ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash and jumped a 39.5” vertical at Wisconsin's pro day last month, per Wilson.

Other reports have Nelson’s 40-yard dash time at 4.49 seconds, but all reports have him in the top-10 percent among safety testers in the vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash and three-cone, with him just outside the top-10 percent in the short shuttle drill.
