NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers, are fully involved in scouting players for the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan. Owners, general managers, scouts, and coaches have been involved by going to the NFL combine and now college pro days put on by the schools.
As the Packers look to boost their team with more young talent, Packers representatives made their way to Alabama to scout one of the top cornerback prospects.

It was reported that the Green Bay Packers chatted with Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry at his Pro Day.

The standout CB performed solidly on his pro day. McKinstry is coming off of a fracture in his right foot, and he would run a 4.47 (unofficial) 40-yard dash time.
