Packers Use One of 30 Visits on Canadian Prospect
As of Apr. 1, NFL teams could start bringing in up to 30 NFL Draft prospects in for an official visit to team headquarters.
The Green Bay Packers will be using one of their 30 allotted visits on Laurent Duvernay-Tardif of McGill University in Montreal, according to Adam Caplan of ESPN:
G Laurent Duvernay-Tardif scheduled to visit the #Packers in addition to the #Browns, #AzCardinals and #Seahawks.

Previously, the Packers attended Tardif's pro day workout. He was one of two Canadian prospects invited to the East-West Shrine Game.
Last year, the Packers signed another Canadian prospect in outside linebacker Andy Mulumba.
Russ Lande, scouting director of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, had this to say of Tardif:
@caplannfl - Although should be noted he is 6'5 with the feet to play LT in NFL.

I read that Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is still a raw specimen - unless the Packers' scouting team thinks otherwise. I wouldn't pick him higher than the 5th round.
