During Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the Green Bay Packers, the team rarely brought high-level college prospects in for formal visits ahead of the NFL Draft. Thompson’s approach was almost exclusively to bring in a few players projected near the top of the draft to evaluate character or injury questions, and then use the vast majority of their visits on late-round or likely undrafted prospects.
Brian Gutekunst’s approach has differed somewhat, though the team still tends to use visits to evaluate character or injury red flags. The breakdown is much different though, with the team much more likely to use a top-30 visit on a top-100 player than under Thompson.
