Latest in a Packers Prospects series looking at players Green Bay could select in the April 23-25 NFL draft.

GREEN BAY - Historically, there’s a certain preference the Green Bay Packers have for cornerbacks. They like long and physical corners, excelling in pressing receivers at the line of scrimmage.

So it should be no surprise if the Packers are keenly interested in Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs. At 6-1, 205 pounds with 32¾-inch arms, Diggs has ideal size for the perimeter, capable of matching up against big-bodied receivers.
