Unpacking Future Packers: No. 31, Arizona State CB Keith Abney II

The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who the  Green Bay Packers  could select in the 2026 NFL draft. During the 2025 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers selected Anthony Belton with the 54th overall pick. The North Carolina State offensive lineman weighed in at the combine at 335 pounds, making him the heaviest offensive lineman the Packers have drafted in 100 years.

Okay, not 100 years, but Belton broke the offensive line weight threshold (321 pounds). In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Packers drafted Jayden Reed with the 50th overall pick, despite weighing 187 pounds, which broke their weight thresholds (190ish) for wide receivers. Brian Gutekunst has shown he's willing to break the proverbial rules, and if he bends the rules again in the 2026 NFL Draft, a potential target could be Keith Abney II .

The Arizona State cornerback is undersized (5-9, 189 pounds and 30-inch arms). All three of those measurements fall under Green Bay's typical thresholds for cornerbacks (5-10, 190 pounds, 31. 5-inch arms).

However, he does have an impressive wingspan (73) for a cornerback of his size. Let's dive into why the Packers may overlook those 'shortcomings' to add the Arizona State cornerback on Day 2. He may be undersized but I’m rolling with Keith Abney II everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
