Packers Eye Versatile Rusher Proctor

0:00It's April 6th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Packers are prioritizing cornerbacks and edge rushers for the NFL draft, but running back depth is calling too. Josh Jacobs holds down the lead role, yet losing a manual Wilson in free agency leaves them thin. With seven picks and no first rounder, they can target a half-back easy. Bleacher report floated Navy's Eli Hayden-Rike as a sneaky fit for Green Bay. This Pittsburgh kid brings versatility. He can line up as a runner or slot receiver. Perfect for Matt LaFloor's creative offense. Last season, Hayden-Rike ran for 499 yards and three touchdowns on 6.5 yards per carry. He also snagged 51 catches for 941 yards and six scores, averaging a wild 18.5 per reception. Over three years in Navy, his receiving totals crushed rushing. 1,994 yards and 16 touchdowns through the air.

1:01Versus 1,157 on the ground with seven scores. Dude lit up the combine with a 4.4440 yard dash. He's projected as a late day three steal, and with five such picks including two in the seventh round, Packers could grab him cheap, adding that multi-tool behind Jacobs boost their backfield without breaking the draft board.
