It's April 20th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Packers are beefing up their offensive line depth, hosting Arizona State's Max Ihanakor for a top 30 pre-draft visit. This 6-foot 6-321-pound tackle brings rare athleticism for his size, and Green Bay sees him as a potential steal, if he slides. His journey is straight fire from Nigeria to Compton at age 13, switching from soccer to basketball before an AAU coach pushed him into football. At East Los Angeles College, he built his game from scratch there, then transferred to Arizona State. Ihanakor locked down right tackle, starting 26 games over his last two seasons. No sacks allowed as a senior, earning second team all big. 12 honors. He balled out at the senior bowl too, proving he can hang with a lead talent. At the combine, he blazed a 4.9 140 yard dash. At a 30-and-a-half inch vertical, broad jumped 9-feet-7 and ripped 2, 125 pounds, 25 times.

That 9.86 relative athletic score has scouts buzzing about day 2 potential. With injuries hitting their young guns like Jordan Morgan and others, Packers could grab him around pick 52 for that luxury upside, draft seasons heating up, and he's one to watch his board shake out.
