Who is your draft crush?

Here’s your opportunity to talk about the prospect you like the most

Now that it’s officially April, let’s talk about prospects who you’re big fans of. I haven’t gone through the entire class by any means, but here are a couple of guys who stand out to me.

Miami running back Damien Martinez

I know that Cam Ward is the Hurricane stealing the show this offseason, but Damien Martinez is a good all-around back. He played in very different systems over his college career, primarily running outside zone for Oregon State in an under center system before transferring to...

Packers Mock Draft 3.0 Voting: 2nd Round

Packers Mock Draft 3.0 Voting: 2nd Round

For the third time, Green Bay goes Derrick Harmon in the first round

Folks, we’ve done it. We’ve found our Cooper DeJean of this draft class. We have pinned down the draft crush of Green Bay Packers fans.

For the third straight mock draft, our readership has given the Packers Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in the first round. With Marshall defensive end Mike Green on the board, I thought there was a good chance that Green Bay would pick up an edge rusher for the first time in our mock draft series, but the voters had other plans.

NFL passes replay and kickoff tweaks but does not hold vote on Tush Push ban

NFL passes replay and kickoff tweaks but does not hold vote on Tush Push ban

The Packers’ proposal did have substantial support, but it will not go receive a vote at the annual meeting this week.

On Tuesday, the NFL voted on several of the new rules proposals for the 2025 season, approving several tweaks to the existing playing rules for the upcoming year. The league’s owners voted to expand the replay assist program and to adjust the rules governing overtime and the new kickoff, and those changes will go into place for at least the coming season.

However, the Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the pushing of a ballcarrier from behind — outlawing...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers banking on internal improvement on defense

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers banking on internal improvement on defense

The Packers biggest positions of need still need addressing.

The Packers entered free agency needing help at edge rusher, on the defensive line, and at wide receiver.

The Packers exited free agency needing help at edge rusher, on the defensive line, and at wide receiver, depending on how much help you think Mecole Hardman will bring to the wide receiver room.

Even if you’re a fan of the Aaron Banks and Nate Hobbs signings, it’s hard to argue the Packers are stronger at their positions of need than they were a month ago. This puts them in the unenviable position...

Packers Film Room: Breaking down the deep dig

Packers Film Room: Breaking down the deep dig

Today we look at some simple yet effective passing concepts the Packers relied on for big plays in 2024.

The Green Bay Packers relied on a simple yet effective passing design in 2024: their deep dig/deep out passing concept. The concept was called only a handful of times, but it created explosive pass plays for the offense in high leverage situations. The play was either run from under center with play action and mirrored receiver formations or was run out of shotgun on third downs and no play action.

I can’t find the install non-play action play art so here...

Brian Gutekunst says Richmond Williams was a driving force behind Nate Hobbs signing

Brian Gutekunst says Richmond Williams was a driving force behind Nate Hobbs signing

Gutekunst gave credit to a little-known member of the front office in praising the Nate Hobbs deal.

Nate Hobbs was hardly a household name before the Packers gave him a four-year, $48 million contract this spring, but according to Brian Gutekunst, the team has had eyes on him for a while.

Specifically, Gutekunst says director of pro personnel Richmond Williams had been keeping tabs on Hobbs during the first four years of Hobbs’ career.

“Richmond Williams on our pro staff does a great job and has been pushing [for him],” Gutekunst told reporters today at the NFL’s spring owners meetings....

Packers Draft Visit Tracker 2025: All the college prospects meeting with Green Bay

Packers Draft Visit Tracker 2025: All the college prospects meeting with Green Bay

Keep up with the names of all the players meeting with the Packers ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

During Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the Green Bay Packers, the team rarely brought high-level college prospects in for formal visits ahead of the NFL Draft. Thompson’s approach was almost exclusively to bring in a few players projected near the top of the draft to evaluate character or injury questions, and then use the vast majority of their visits on late-round or likely undrafted prospects.

Brian Gutekunst’s approach has differed somewhat, though the team still tends to use visits...

Packers’ Brian Gutekunst speaks on Jaire Alexander situation

Packers’ Brian Gutekunst speaks on Jaire Alexander situation

A door has been left open for Alexander to return to the team

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst got the opportunity to speak to the press on Monday morning at the NFL’s spring owners meetings. There, he was asked about cornerback Jaire Alexander, the former All-Pro whose future with the team currently hangs in limbo.

Earlier this offseason, it was reported that Alexander was not willing to take a pay cut to remain a Packer, which led to Green Bay never pushing that offer forward. The team has apparently been looking at trading Alexander since then, [according to...

Packers granted international marketing rights in UK, Ireland, and Germany

The Packers will formally begin expanding their international presence into Europe this year.

As the NFL continues to market itself outside of the United States, the Green Bay Packers are getting on board the international efforts. At the league’s annual meeting on Monday, Green Bay was announced as one of four new teams added to the NFL’s international marketing program.

Joining the Packers as new participants in the program are the Washington Commanders, Baltimore Ravens, and Los Angeles Chargers, according to Evan Winter of AtoZ Sports.

One of the key components of the program is to assign each participating team...

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst confirms that Elgton Jenkins will move to center

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst confirms that Elgton Jenkins will move to center

The widely-expected position switch is now confirmed.

When the Green Bay Packers signed guard Aaron Banks early in the 2025 free agency period, that move signaled that a position change was coming for one of the established players on the Packers’ offensive line. Banks has exclusively played guard in his NFL career, specifically left guard — a position primarily manned by Elgton Jenkins since his rookie year in 2019.

With starting center Josh Myers signing with the New York Jets a few days later, it became clear that Banks would slot in at one of the Packers’ starting guard spots....

Between the draft and the rules change proposal, the Packers are at the center of the NFL’s mind right now.

The Green Bay Packers are sitting front and center in the eyes of the NFL right now. In less than four weeks, the 2025 NFL Draft will kick off from just in front of Lambeau Field, marking the first time that Green Bay has hosted one of the league’s premier events. And as of this weekend, construction for all of the stages and temporary facilities associated with the draft is officially underway.

That of course means that the area around...

2025 NFL Draft: Mykel Williams scouting report

2025 NFL Draft: Mykel Williams scouting report

Williams lacks college pass-rushing production but has a high upside

This offseason, we’re hoping to write up prospect profiles on every single draftable player that the Green Bay Packers bring in on a pre-draft visit. The third potential first-round defensive end on our list is Georgia’s Mykel Williams, who battled through a Grade 2 ankle sprain during the 2024 season.

According to Williams, he was injured in the Bulldogs’ first game of the year, which limited to him to about 60 percent. Even though he ran a 40-yard dash in the 4.75-second to 4.82-second range at his pro day, Williams...
