So far, 12 of the Green Bay Packers’ 30 pre-draft visits this offseason have been announced. Prior to the announcement of Ohio State tackle Josh Simmons coming to Green Bay, all the other players who were projected to be first-round selections who visited the Packers came from just two positions: receiver and edge rusher.
So, why is Simmons the lone tackle coming in on a visit with the Packers? It almost certainly has to do with his medical evaluation. Initially reported as an ACL, Simmons — considered to be the top offensive lineman in the draft class at the time — tore his patellar tendon in October.
