Summary

🏈 The Packers' top 30 visit list is almost complete — and the final nine names are fascinating.

Pack Daddy and Cullen break down the last wave of Packers top-30 visit prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, covering a diverse mix of developmental upside, elite athleticism, and the kind of high-character profiles Green Bay has consistently prioritized. Plus — a quick note on the Jake Flint hiring as assistant strength and conditioning coach, and a big announcement about the live draft stream on Patreon.

📋 Episode Breakdown:

  • 🏋️ Jake Flint hire — long-time Brian Kelly protégé brought in to help rebuild the Packers' S&C room; personal LaFleur connection goes back to Notre Dame 2014
  • 🛡️ Jordan Vanderburg (DT, Georgia Tech) — second-best RAS ever for a DT, master's degree, owns a laundromat, and the Packers are paying attention
  • 🔒 Karon Prunty (CB, Wake Forest) — nomadic five-school path ends with a 4.45 pro day and the #12 coverage grade nationally in 2025
  • 💨 Damon Bankston (RB/KR, New Mexico State) — unofficial 4.37 forty, two kick return TDs, Boston Scott comp, and zero hesitation about his NFL pitch to scouts
  • 🧱 Will Lee (CB, Texas A&M) — "The Blanket," Benjamin St-Juste primary comp, boundary corner with elite combine explosiveness
  • 🎓 Michael Heldman (Edge, CMU) — 9.88 RAS, 3.88 MBA, four-time academic All-MAC, highest-graded pass rusher in a pool of 852 qualified edge rushers
  • 🦾 Ethan Onyenwu (OT, Ohio State) — 6'7", 34⅛" arms, raw power in a massive frame
  • 🔭 D'arco Perkins (S, Louisiana Monroe) — four-star recruit with a winding journey; one big year at Chattanooga has scouts still believing
  • 🎯 AJ Halsey (S, LSU) — 10 career interceptions across four conferences, 87 PFF grade in 2025, box enforcer with turnover instincts
  • 🏆 Chris Brazil II (WR, Tennessee) — 4.37 forty, Drake London comp, led SEC in receiving yards per game in 2025
