Packers hosting Wake Forest cornerback Karon Prunty on pre-draft visit
Wake Forest cornerback Karon Prunty, who shined at his pro day workout, is making a pre-draft visit to the Green Bay Packers.
Per NFL rules, the Green Bay Packers are allowed to host up to 30 draft-eligible players (excluding “local” prospects, such as those in the UW system or nearby regional schools such as Northern Illinois) for in-person visits. The Journal Sentinel is tracking the visits and supplying profiles based on information from sources and published reports. GREEN BAY – After a freshman season in which he received all-Big 12 honorable mention at Kansas, cornerback Karon Prunty had a decision to make.
His head coach, Les Miles, was fired, and he wanted to move on. But rather than pursue a big NIL deal, he accepted an offer from North Carolina A&T, an HBCU, where he redshirted his first season. He played three seasons for the Aggies before transferring to Wake Forest for his final season.
Named third-team all-ACC, Prunty was flying under the radar until he posted high-level numbers in the speed and agility drills at his pro day. Prunty ran a 4. 45-second 40-yard dash and had a short-shuttle time of 4.
20 seconds, which would have ranked tied for ninth among all participants at the NFL scouting combine, and a three-cone of 6. 82 seconds, which would have ranked second. Prunty made a pre-draft visit with the Green Bay Packers , according to a source.
