Packers at the Scouting Combine: Most Cornerbacks excel at 3-cone drill

Green Bay has a minimum height at corner, but also prioritizes good times in one particular drill for the position.

As the NFL Scouting Combine edges closer, we continue looking back at the Green Bay Packers’ performances in Indianapolis. Moving along to the cornerback position, we find a few trends among the four players on the roster who were invited to partake in the event.

There are a pair of trends visible here among the corners, one of which is well-documented and the other which is clearly illustrated in these results. First, the Packers have a height cut-off for their corners, having never drafted a player shorter than 5 feet, 10-5/8 inches under Ted Thompson. The other measureable trend related to the players’ 3-cone drill times - three of the four players drafted have times around 6.8 seconds, which are excellent results in that drill. The other one is Quinten Rollins, a second-round pick, while LaDarius Gunter ended up in Green Bay after going undrafted.

Here are the results for the corners who attended the Combine during their draft years.
