The Packers looked at a RB who went high in the XFL Draft
The XFL Draft happened in November. But that doesn’t mean drafted players aren’t looking to make the jump to the NFL. The Packers were looking to add to their depth at running back this week. They worked out a running back who was drafted high in the XFL last month.
According to Aaron Wilson with KPRC, the Packers worked out Abram Smith this week. Smith was a running back from Baylor. He has not been signed with the Packers as of this publishing.

Smith was the number one overall pick in the 2022 XFL Draft. According to First Level Media, Smith has experience in the NFL, as he spent time with the New Orleans Saints:
The D.C. Defenders made former Baylor running back Abram Smith the first pick in the 2022 XFL Draft on Wednesday.
Smith had an unspectacular career at Baylor until his senior season in 2021, when he carried the ball 257 times for 1,601 yards and 12 touchdowns over 14 games. He signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in May and was cut near the end of training camp.
Smith played both offense and defense in college. According to his NFL profile, Smith was asked to play linebacker early in his career. He then moved back to running back. He might be a good prospect for the Packers to look at for special teams.
