Packers scout at Cactus Bowl
Posted Jan 07 2009, 02:53 PM by Brian Carriveau

A scout from the Green Bay Packers can be seen on video on this website checking out senior prospects at the Valero Cactus Bowl in Kingsville, Texas.

Perhaps it's Packers scout Jon-Eric Sullivan, which would make sense seeing as he's the scouting director for the mid-South when the game is being held in Texas.

Even though the game is only being held for Division II players, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Packers are there. General manager Ted Thompson has been there in the past, and reports were surfacing from the same site yesterday that the Packers new defensive coordinator would be Mike Nolan.

Maybe the Packers are taking a look at tackle Jeremy Ashcroft of Arkansas Tech, who's turning some heads while turning away speed rushers.

The game is being held on Friday night.

Boy, how Ted Thompson loves his hidden small school gems. We got a couple in Jennings and Collins. I wonder if this guy will be a 2nd rounder too.

Why can't Ted Thompson draft in the first round like he does in the 2nd? His 2nd round picks have been great.

2005:
Nick Collins
Terrence Murphy - would have been a rising star if not for injury

2006:
Daryn Colledge
Greg Jennings

2007:
Brandon Jackson - should get more playing time

2008 (time will tell with these guys):
Jordy Nelson
Brian Brohm
Patrick Lee

He seems to have Wolfitis... up and down with regards to 1st round selections.

Can anyone really name a GM who consistently hits home runs in the first round?

Check Bill Belichick's for NE. I'm sure it's great. They seem to get good players even when consistently picking late in the 1st round.

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
