While the Packers are known to draft or sign players who came to the team facilities for formal pre-draft visits, an even more clear sign is the positions of the players whom they invite. With more than a third of the team’s 30 official visitors now reported, a few trends are starting to emerge and one of these is that the team is evaluating defensive tackles in the early-to-middle rounds. Monday brought the news that borderline top-100 prospect Kaleb Proctor is one of the players visiting Green Bay and now Tuesday’s reports reveal that a top-50 player at that position is coming as well.
The news comes from NFL reporter Aaron Wilson that the Packers are digging in on another Georgia defender. This time it is defensive tackle Christen Miller, a 6-foot-4, 321-pound player who has experience at multiple positions across the defensive line. Miller is a prime candidate for a pre-draft visit for a number of reasons.
First, he could be a serious candidate for the Packers with their first draft pick in 2026. Without a round-one selection, the Packers’ first choice will come in the second round at #52 overall. Miller is currently ranked 46th on the consensus draft board, potentially putting him in range for Green Bay with that pick.
