If there’s one thing we know about the Green Bay Packers’ drafting tendencies under general manager Brian Gutekunst, it’s that he loves exceptional athletes.

Tools like Relative Athletic Score (RAS) and the proliferation of Combine/Pro Day testing numbers have made it easier to look inside the Packers’ collective scouting brain to see what they like. At APC, we broke down the receivers and cornerbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft class last week to see who fits Green Bay’s tendencies, and we will continue on with a few more positions this week.
