GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the Green Bay Packers at cornerback, short prospects need not apply.
Between Ted Thompson (2005 through 2017) and Brian Gutekunst (2018 through current), the Packers have drafted 17 cornerbacks. At 5-foot-10 1/4, Jaire Alexander is the shortest.
Otherwise, seemingly, all bets are off. They’ve taken fast corners and slow-ish corners. They’ve taken corners with and without explosive vertical leaps. They’ve taken corners with elite 20-yard shuttle times and terrible ones.
Relative Athletic Score
Every draftnik’s favorite acronym is RAS. Relative Athletic Score takes all the prospects’ key measurables – height, weight, 40-yard dash and so on – and creates a single 0 to 10 score for sake of positional comparison.
