The draft prospects have been measured, weighed, poked and prodded at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Now begins the on-field workouts for the players, including the heavily dissected 40-yard dash. As he has for the past few days, our beloved leader Evan "Tex" Western will be providing updates on the combine and potential Packers throughout the day, so make sure you're following @acmepackingco and @TexWestern on the Twitters.

In the meantime, here are some stories in and around the combine, including the possible return of Letroy Guion:
