The Green Bay Packers hosted Oklahoma offensive tackle Tyler Guyton on a top 30 visit ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, according to Bill Huber of Packer Central.
Teams are allowed to host up to 30 prospects on visits ahead of the draft. Packers Wire is tracking all the reported visits here.
Guyton, a potential first-round pick, has become an increasingly common option for the tackle-needy Packers at No. 25 overall in national mock drafts.
Guyton (6-8, 322) transferred from TCU and eventually made 14 starts and 20 total appearances — mostly at right tackle — for Oklahoma over the last two seasons.
Per Pro Football Focus, Guyton allowed two sacks and 16 total pressures across almost 1,000 total snaps between 2022 and 2023. He didn’t allow a single sack in 2023. Guyton is PFF’s No. 30 overall prospect in the draft class.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com called Guyton an “ascending tackle prospect” with a “bright future as a high-level pass protector” in the NFL, and he believes Guyton can play left or right tackle at the next level.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Guyton ran the 40-yard dash in 5.19 seconds, hit 34.5″ in the vertical leap, covered 8-11 in the broad jump and finished the short shuttle 4.71 seconds. His Relative Athletic Score is 9.71 out of 10.0.
Guyton is the No. 23 overall prospect for Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com.
“Overall, Guyton is still a work in progress, but he has elite traits and tools,” Jeremiah wrote.
The Packers lost David Bakhtiari and Yosh Nijman this offensive, stripping the offensive line of depth and experience at offensive tackle. Guyton may not have guard-tackle versatility, but he could be the ideal developmental prospect at offensive tackle, which could allow the Packers to move Zach Tom — who has five-position versatility — around the offensive line.
