Quinn for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers\u2019 pre-draft visitors have a high chance of being added to Green Bay\u2019s roster, either in the draft, undrafted free agency or further down the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/draftscout.com\/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=1053931&amp;DraftYear=2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to NFL Draft Scout<\/a>, Quinn measured in at 6\u20190\u201d-flat and 227 pounds at his pro day after being listed at 6\u20191\u201d and 235 pounds by Louisville. He was a three-year starter for the Cardinals and was named a third-team All-ACC linebacker as a redshirt senior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the Packers switching to a 3-4 defense this offseason, it seems highly unlikely that Green Bay will keep more than five off-ball linebackers on its 53-man roster. Zaire Franklin, Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie and Ty\u2019Ron Hopper seem like virtual locks to make the team, barring a trade or injury. Behind them, Nick Niemann, Kristian Welch and Jamon Johnson, who would primarily help on special teams, return, too. There\u2019s not much space for another off-ball linebacker on this team, so it makes sense that Green Bay would go the undrafted route at the position, in case they aren\u2019t able to keep players like Welch or Johnson on the practice squad for whatever reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Green Bay Packers are bringing in Louisville off-ball linebacker&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[156905,18811,349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-552103","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-green-bay-packers-draft","9":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
