The Green Bay Packers don’t shy away from throwing resources at the pass rushing position. Throughout the years we have seen Green Bay dip into free agency and the draft to address this position. That will be no different heading into this off-season.
In fact, Green Bay has already shown interest in one 25-sack defender who could make an immediate impact.
“Conversations Have Begun”: Packers Brass Intrigued 25-Sack Defender
According to insider Easton Butler:
The #Packers met with Ole Miss EDGE Princely Umanmielen at the Senior Bowl, per BookOfEli_NFL
In the eyes of Princely Umanmielen, good is not good enough. A “faster rep, a harder tackle, a better game, a better season” could have always been possible. To achieve greatness, there is always another step to take:
It’s how he felt at seven years old, the first time he picked up a football.
“When we moved to Austin, Texas, me and my brother, we never played football before, and we didn’t know how to catch,” Umanmielen recounted, “so we asked our parents to buy us one, and they bought us one and how we learned how to catch is we stood very, very close to each other, threw the ball, took a step back, throw the ball.”
It’s how he felt after the first session of the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl practice, despite a day when he couldn’t help but stand out in drills.
“I feel like it went OK,” Umanmielen conceded after the American team session on Tuesday. “I could have done better. I’m just looking forward to improving.”
And it’s how he felt after four years at Florida, despite having 98 tackles, 15 sacks, and three forced fumbles in that time, earning an invite to the Senior Bowl—a selection of 150 of the top college prospects who are draft-eligible—at that time last year.
“I just, I didn’t feel satisfied.”
Here is a look at Umanmielen’s stats:
