mammoth Belton <\/a>(6-6, 335) has a memorable training camp, he might not see the field much until 2026.<\/p>\n\u201cI just want to be a sponge, continue to learn, but also be the best version of myself when it comes, if it\u2019s on the field, off the field, making sure I\u2019m in the playbook,\u201d Belton said. \u201cI feel like all that kind of lines up to allow me to be able to come in, compete and be able to get reps with all the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
5. Warren Brinson, DT, Georgia<\/p>\n
Brinson made just eight starts during his five years at Georgia. But Brinson (6-5, 315) could be the space-eating defensive tackle the Packers lost when free agent T.J. Slaton signed with Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst also believes Brinson has enough inside quickness to be a factor as a pass rusher.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I think I\u2019m a very good pass rusher but I can\u2019t just be too cocky about it,\u201d Brinson said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to work hard, I\u2019ve got to ask Kenny (Clark) some stuff, just learn from the guys around me, get into practice, and just hear what they have to tell me. I\u2019m trying to be a sponge and soak in all the information and just find out the nuances of the NFL that I need to know to be elite and be ahead of other people.\u201d<\/p>\n
6. Collin Oliver, DE\/LB, Oklahoma State<\/p>\n
Finding where Oliver fits best will be a challenge for defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.<\/p>\n
Oliver is a natural edge rusher, but is also just 6-foot-2, 240 pounds. His speed (4.56) is a huge positive, but can he turn the corner on massive offensive tackles?<\/p>\n
The Packers could also give Oliver a look as a stand-up linebacker, but he\u2019d be a developmental player in that role. Oliver played just two games in 2024 due to a foot injury, so he\u2019ll need to shake the rust off through the offseason and training camp.<\/p>\n
The best guess is Oliver will be one of Green Bay\u2019s better special teams players in 2025, but makes little impact from scrimmage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m here to play ball and do whatever the coaches ask of me,\u201d Oliver said. \u201cThat’s the only reason I’m here and that’s what I’m going to do while I’m here. Wherever they see me I’m going to play that position. I don’t really care what it is. It don’t know what it is, but it’s going to be a position and I’m going to play it to the best of my abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
7. Micah Robinson, CB, Tulane<\/p>\n
Robinson could be a surprise contributor as the Packers have just three proven corners right now \u2014 Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine.<\/p>\n
Robinson, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds, is undersized (6-0, 184). But the fourth cornerback job could come down to Robinson and 2024 seventh round draft pick Kalen King.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to show them I can play any position, whether that\u2019s nickel or corner,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cI want to play special teams. Kind of with my skill set, I want to show them they can put me anywhere on the field, and also be a low-maintenance guy. Whenever they need me, just go out there and do what I have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
8. John Williams, OL, Cincinnati<\/p>\n
First, Williams has to make the team. Then \u2014 much like Belton \u2014 earning playing time won’t be easy with offensive line being one of the Packers\u2019 top positional groups.<\/p>\n
So Williams \u2014 a college left tackle who projects to guard \u2014 might wind up using 2025 as a redshirt year, with hopes of earning playing time in 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn games I only played left tackle, but I practiced at all five (positions) at some point in college,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThat was a big talking point for me. So now they\u2019re putting it to the test and I think I can do pretty well. So, we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Bay Packers are expecting big things this year from first round draft pick Matthew Golden.
