Packers Eye Louisiana LB Jaden Dugger

0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Packers are ramping up their 2026 draft prep with pre-draft visits, and they've now hit 10 out of the max 30 spots. The latest guy's linebacker, Jaden Dugger from the University of Louisiana, a big dude with tools that scream late-round upside or undrafted gym. There's a monster at 6-foot-5, 242 pounds, and his pro-day lit up the charts, 4.60 in the 40-yard-7. 0.00 in the three-cone, and a 10-foot-six broadjump. Throw in, 35-inch arms, and he's one of the longest linebackers in the class. From Pittsburgh, he started at FCS Georgetown before transferring to Louisiana in 2024. As a senior, he balled out, leading the sun belt in solo tackles with 64. Plus 13 tackles for loss, four sex, a forced fumble, and a pick, shined against Missouri

1:012 with 11 tackles, two for loss, and a sec. No combine invite, but he popped at the shrine bowl for his size and length over pure play. Ranked around 311th overall, he's priority free age and material, perfect for special teens while bulking up, maybe even sliding too. Edge rusher down the line. Others keep stacking these group of 5 sleepers, showing their hunting value in the trenches eyes on how dougar fits their rebuild flow.
