Packers Draft Tracker: Visits and Workouts

NFL teams are allowed 30 visits and workouts of prospects for 2013 NFL draft. We will update and track each workout and visit for the Green Bay Packers here.

With all-star games, the NFL combine and pro days now in the rear-view mirror, the last remaining step in the long, grinding draft process is the official visits and workouts.

Up until a week before the 2013 NFL draft, each team will receive an allowance of 30 official visits and workouts of college prospects.

In 2012, Maine safety Jerron McMillian made an official visit to Green Bay before the Packers drafted him in the fourth round. A year earlier, UNC tight end Ryan Taylor, Utah receiver/returner Shaky Smithson and Youngstown State cornerback Brandian Ross made official visits before the Packers took Taylor in the seventh round and signed Smithson and Ross shortly after the draft.

Here is a list of 2013 prospects who have made official visits. The list will update through April 25 as more names are reported:

When you see these players w/ little publicity, you can bet at least one will be w/ the Packers. Every year one of these players is either drafted or added as a UFA. The big question is which one? My bet would be Catapano drafted in the 5th round.
