The Green Bay Packers will be heading into the 2024 season with all the confidence in the world on offense. By the end of the 2023 season, Jordan Love had his squad playing as good as anyone in the NFL. The defense will have confidence as well, but for other reasons.
The defense has undergone a complete overhaul both with their coaching staff and a few key starting positions. Of course, newly signed Safety Xavier McKinney headlines the on-field changes, however, there could be more defensive help on the way.
The Green Bay Packers Show Interest In Massive Defensive Tackle
According to Easton Butler:
The Packers met with UNI Khristian Boyd at his Pro Day, who put up 38 reps on the bench there.
He told me that the Packers “basically ran our pro day” while there!
In the UNI-Dome on Monday afternoon, eight former Northern Iowa football players participated in the program’s annual pro day.
Defensive tackle Khristian Boyd was among a group of former Panthers who were scouted by 23 of the NFL’s 32 teams.
Boyd earned practice player of the week honors at the East-West Shrine Bowl in late January. He was also a third team All-American and first team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection.
