GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was at Minnesota’s pro day on Thursday, a noteworthy development with the draft four weeks away.
The Golden Gophers have only two draft-worthy performers. One is potential first-round receiver Rashod Bateman and the other is supersized cornerback Benjamin St-Juste.
Bateman, our fourth-ranked receiver, measured 6-foot 3/8 and 190 pounds. He ran his 40 in 4.39 seconds (unofficially) with a 36-inch vertical.
Bateman initially opted out of the 2020 season. He told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that he had COVID-19 over the summer.
