The NFL combine had just a 37 percent participation rate on the first day of the on-field portion of the event, which is not great. Hopefully, more players end up testing today than on Friday.

Today’s focus will be on the tight ends, cornerbacks and safeties, but if you want to catch up on the action from yesterday, when the defensive linemen, edge defenders and off-ball linebackers ran, scroll through Thursday’s thread.

Here are a couple of things to know about the position groups that will be testing today, along with measurements from the top-200 prospects, per the consensus draft board:

I kind of doubt that Green Bay is going to be super active at tight end this year, but there is a chance they could take one late. Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave are both returning to the team, plus Josh Whyle (and John FitzPatrick, if the Packers want him post-Achilles tear) could be re-signed for cheap.

Generally, head coach Matt LaFleur has wanted pass-catchers at the position, with Marcedes Lewis and FitzPatrick being the exceptions in his time in Green Bay. The team will probably keep three tight ends moving forward, because LaFleur’s tight ends don’t play teams much. Other teams have sort of pivoted away from pass-catchers (Whyle was waived by Tennessee last year, for example) because of their importance on the kickoff return units, but that hasn’t been a priority here. For perspective, Seattle had one fullback (a fullback in 2025!) who basically played as many snaps as all of the Packers’ running backs and tight ends combined on special teams last season.

In general, Green Bay allows very few of its offensive players to play in the kicking game. Savion Williams and Romeo Doubs are the notable exceptions, but even they ranked 31st and 37th in special teams snaps played by the Packers in 2025, among just a 48-man gameday roster.

The Packers really could just bring back Whyle and call it a day.

This is probably the most metric-intensive position for the Packers out of this crop. Here are some facts:

Green Bay doesn’t necessarily want big cornerbacks, but they do not want small cornerbacks. Gannon’s system needs fast cornerbacks to make up for quarters turning into man coverage after about five yards, too.

Where those things match (especially outside of the top of the draft, since the Packers’ first pick is #52) should make identifying a Green Bay-type cornerback pretty easy. I’ve really circled eight players at the position already, including Domani Jackson of Alabama, a former top-50 projection who had a down season in 2025 but should test like an elite athlete.
