Several NFL teams meet with former LSU cornerback ahead of draft

The New Orleans Saints and defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are among the teams that met with Mekhi Garner ahead of the draft.

Unlike most previous years, LSU doesn’t have a surefire first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

In all likelihood, no former Tigers will hear their names called on Thursday night, though BJ Ojulari does have an outside shot. Still, there are a number of intriguing draft prospects from LSU who could prove to be steals.

One of them is cornerback Mekhi Garner, a transfer from Louisiana who became one of the SEC’s top defensive backs in his lone season with the Tigers.
