The last Temple product the Green Bay Packers selected in the NFL Draft was Willie Marshall, picked in round six of the 1987 draft. Ted Thompson hasn’t selected players from the Philadelphia scene, and he might not during his tenure as Packers GM, but there’s talent nestled in the area.
At Temple’s Pro Day on Wednesday, personnel from every NFL team, including the Packers’, flocked to the area for a second helping of the school’s Combine talents. The main draw was rising LB/DE prospect Haason Reddick, who aced Sunday’s Combine trials and rocketed up draft boards.
