The Green Bay Packers have had an active offseason under GM Brian Gutekunst. With over 100 million dollars spent on two free agents Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs, Gutekunst has been adamant about obtaining the guys he wants. Gutekunst has taken this philosophy on the scouting trail as well, getting his feet wet at pro days that may be of interest to the Green Bay Packers.
Brian Gutekunst Attends Wisconsin Badgers Pro Day
The Wisconsin Badgers have an intriguing batch of prospects in the NFL Draft for the Green Bay Packers. General Manager Brian Gutekunst seems to agree, attending the Wisconsin Badgers Pro Day to get a better feel for these prospects.

Potential Green Bay Packers At Wisconsin Pro Day
With the future of the Green Bay Packers running back room uncertain besides the new signing of Josh Jacobs, the Wisconsin Badgers have a running back prospect that the Packers have an interest in. Braelon Allen is a running back that many scouts have atop their running back draft board. The 20-year-old 6’2 240 lb back would thrive behind the strong Green Bay Packers offensive line. Nearly putting up over 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons with the Badgers, the NFL was put on notice by Allen’s capabilities.
“I bring a lot of physicality and a downhill running style,” said Allen at the NFL Combine. “A more old school style, but I can also catch the ball and run routes, pass protect, and I think I bring a lot of value in that way. Just being versatile.
“Of course, there’s a lot of things I want to work on and get better at, more consistent, at the end of the day, I’m young and have a long way to go until I’m fully developed. In the right system, at the right place, I can be a great player.”
The tenacity and abilities of Braelon Allen are likely high on the Green Bay Packers draft board. Another player that is likely of interest in the Green Bay Packers draft room is interior offensive lineman Tanor Bortalini. Bortalini certainly put on a showing good enough for the Packers at the NFL Combine where he posted a nearly perfect Relative Athletic Score of 9.97.
With needs at running back and offensive line depth the Green Bay Packers will have a close eye on the Wisconsin Badgers come draft day.
