The Ones Who Visited the Pack

Each NFL team is allowed 30 pre-draft visitors to the team's facility, and an unlimited number of "local" visitors and private workouts. We thought it would be interesting to compile as much information on these visits as possible. We'll check after the draft to see what teams chose primarily off their visit list.

This is not intended to be a complete list.

* = Confirmed "local" visitor
** = Believed to be private workout only

Green Bay Packers

Terrence Austin, wide receiver, UCLA.
Danny Batten, defensive end, South Dakota State.
Duane Brooks, wide receiver, Stephen F. Austin.
Duke Calhoun, wide receiver, Memphis.
Jorrick Calvin, cornerback, Troy.
Jonathan Crompton, quarterback, Tennessee.
Alex Henderson, running back, Northern Arizona.
Mike Iupati, offensive guard, Idaho.
**Ryan Mathews, running back, Fresno State.
Nick McDonald, offensive lineman, Grand Valley State.
**Jerome Murphy, cornerback, South Florida.
**Matt Nichols, quarterback, Eastern Washington.
Antonio Robinson, wide receiver, Nicholls State.
Patrick Robinson, cornerback, Florida State.
O'Brien Schofield, defensive end, Wisconsin.
Mikell Simpson, running back, Virginia.
Vuna Tuihalamaka, linebacker, Arizona.

What it means? I don't know. For the Packers, most likely, very little. Nice to see the list, though. I wouldn't mind taking a look at Schofield, for instance.

Here is a breakdown of those that visited (almost all late round guys) and what they might bring to the Pack.

I'd LOVE to see Jon Crompton go to the Pack. I went to high school with him and was good friends with his sister. Would be sweet to know someone personally on the Packers, especially from good 'ole Western North Carolina!!

Although talent wise I'm not sure. The dude was hated on a ton at UT. He apparently got a ton of talent but who knows what will happen with it.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Pack get Schofield, Crompton and Matthews. Schofield because he's from UW and if he heals 100% could be a steal in the late rounds. Crompton has the required talent and didn't deserve all the hate I don't believe, just a gut feeling. Matthews would be a nice addition, I'm going by how he looked against Wisconsin. He showed good speed and toughness.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I like the idea that only two OL are on the list. That means Ted Thompson is going to play the OL card often. 🙂

I will be seriously disappointed if the Packers don't pick Schofield in the middle rounds - he could be a damn fine complement to CMIII and he's a great kid. I think Mathews will be a real-deal RB in the league, but he's too similar to Grant, so I don't know if I'd like that pick.

It seems to me that Thompson works out more WRs than anyone in the league. I'd be curious to see hard numbers on that.

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.
