For the second consecutive draft, the Green Bay Packers selected five players from the Senior Bowl.
Green Bay’s five selections trailed only the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts, who both picked seven players from the Senior Bowl.
The premier pre-draft showcase event helped lead the Packers to tight end Luke Musgrave, receiver Jayden Reed, receiver Dontayvion Wicks, defensive lineman Karl Brooks and receiver Grant DuBose in this year’s draft.
Reed was a standout in Mobile, while Musgrave returned from injury and was one of the fastest players on the field. Brooks said the Senior Bowl helped him, especially in terms of showing teams he can play inside.
Reed and Wicks were both voted the receivers of the week by defensive backs at the event.
Packers coaches Ryan Maffehy and Quinshon Odom were both coaches along the offensive line for the American team, although Green Bay did not select an offensive linemen in the 2023 draft.
Last year, the Packers selected five players from the event (Devonte Wyatt, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Kingsley Enagbare and Tariq Carpenter) and later signed Bo Melton.
Overall, the Packers have drafted or signed 33 players who participated in the Senior Bowl since Brian Gutekunst took over in 2018.
Teams that do better job evaluating WR position, like #Steelers & #49ers, will have MSU’s Jayden Reed higher than majority.
Getting mostly third round feedback on Reed but could see him sneaking into second.@JaydenReed5 will out-perform many WRs projected to go earlier as pro. pic.twitter.com/2Yio0HSfRm

Top size/speed combo at @seniorbowl? It was Oregon State TE Luke Musgrave, who had 16th fastest max speed (20.05 mph) of any player…AT 255 lbs! Next heaviest who ran faster was Cincy LB Ivan Pace Jr (20.58 at 231 lbs). Trusted sources think Musgrave could run 4.4 at Combine.👀 pic.twitter.com/qa3xtXm3WA

Karl Brooks says the @seniorbowl was good for him and really helped him show teams he can play inside.
