Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston is reporting<\/a> that Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor visited the Green Bay Packers, along with more than a third of the league, leading up to the draft. It sure seems like Iheanachor, who didn\u2019t start playing football until he walked onto his junior college\u2019s football team, is a popular prospect as the draft approaches.<\/p>\n

Bringing in Iheanachor seems significant, since he\u2019s ranked 31st on the consensus draft board<\/a>. With 28 of the Packers\u2019 30 visits now reported<\/a>, Iheanachor is by far the highest-ranked player that Green Bay has brought in. The next-highest ranked prospect is Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller at #47. It could be possible that if there is a Packers trade-up candidate for next week\u2019s draft, it\u2019ll be Iheanachor. He\u2019s the only prospect that they\u2019ve brought in, at least that we know of, who would sort of fit that mold.<\/p>\n

Iheanachor was an All-Big 12 right tackle in 2025 and measured in at 6\u20196\u201d and 321 pounds at the combine. He also had 34\u201d arms and ran an impressive 4.91-second 40-yard dash, which is special for an offensive lineman his size. He began his college career at East Los Angeles College before transferring to Arizona State. He was a two-year starter for the Sun Devils.<\/p>\n

The Packer shave brought in just two other offensive linemen for visits this draft cycle: Ohio State\u2019s Ethan Onianwa and Illinois\u2019 Josh Gesky, who are expected to be undrafted free agents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston is reporting that Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor visited the Green Bay…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[156905,349,99],"class_list":["post-592617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-green-bay-packers-draft","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592617","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=592617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
