Medical exams will likely be the focus of this visit.
When bringing in a highly-rated player for a pre-draft visit, the Green Bay Packers tend to focus on players with residual questions, either from an athletic testing, character, or medical standpoint. On Thursday morning, a report has emerged about a player who fits squarely into the last of those categories.
The player is Shavon Revel, a cornerback out of East Carolina. Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reported the visit, which will almost certainly focus on Revel’s recovery from a torn ACL.
After two years in community college, Revel joined the Pirates in 2022, then became a full-time starter and a star for the Pirates as a junior in 2023. That year, he earned second-team All-AAC honors by racking up 54 total tackles, 4 TFLs, 13 pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery (which he returned for a touchdown). He followed that up in 2024 with two picks in three games, including a 50-yard pick-six, before he tore his ACL in practice before week four.
Revel reportedly expects to be physically ready for the start of his rookie training camp in the summer, but the Packers surely want to inspect his knee to confirm that there is no long-term concern about his future.
Revel is one of the more physically imposing cornerbacks in this year’s draft class, standing just under 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 194 pounds. If he arrived in Green Bay, he would immediately be the biggest corner on the roster by at least two inches, injecting a bit of much-needed size into that unit.
Currently, Revel is ranked as the 39th overall prospect in this draft class on the Mock Draft Database, and he often appears in the late stages of some mock drafts. However, a recent 7-round mock from ESPN’s Matt Miller found him headed to Green Bay with the team’s second-round draft pick at number 54 overall.
