Packers 2016 Combine Preview: Mid-round Nose Tackles could tempt Ted Thompson

Of all the defensive tackles heading to Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, several projected mid-to-late rounders have the skills necessary to man the nose tackle position.

The 3-4 defense is more prevalent in the NFL than it is in the college game. Still, there are several players who have either succeeded in the 3-4 while in college or show the ability to transition to the role of nose tackle. The Green Bay Packers started B.J. Raji and Letroy Guion at nose tackle over the last two seasons.

Guion is listed at 6'4" and 322 pounds, while Raji drops in at 6'2" and 337.
