Packers finished with one of the most athletic classes in 2026 draft

By both Next Gen Stats and Relative Athletic Score, the Green Bay Packers exited the 2026 draft with one of the NFL's most athletic classes of players. Next Gen Stats, which uses testing from the NFL Scouting Combine, rated the Packers' six-player draft class as the fifth-most athletic in the 2026 draft -- tying the New Orleans Saints with an average 79. 7 score.

The Packers took two of the most athletic players at their respective positions in edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton (91 athleticism grade) and center Jager Burton (96 athleticism grade). Burton's grade led all offensive linemen in the class. The one knock was defensive tackle Chris McClellan, a 313-pounder who earned a 57 athleticism grade but is likely to play nose tackle snaps in Green Bay.

Relative Athletic Score, or RAS, had the Packers with the 11th highest average RAS draft class at 8. 82. But there's a caveat here -- McClellan brought down the class with a 6.

00 score. However, RAS included agility testing, which wasn't included as official numbers in Dane Brugler's draft guide. We haven't been able to confirm McClellan did agility testing at his pro day.
