Packers Host Rare 5-Year Linebacker TJ Quinn

0:00It's April 7th, I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and Bill for football fans. Packers fans, keep your eyes on Louisville linebacker TJ Quinn, who's heading to Green Bay for a pre-draft visit. This guy is a rare 5-year college vet who's stuck with one program, turning from safety to the Cardinals top defender. He led the team in tackles his last 3 seasons, wrapping up with 289 total stops, 5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and 9 passes defended. Quinn's all about that team for his vibe, calling himself a high-energy locker-room leader, ready to grind and learn. At pro-day, he clocked a 4.53 in the 40 yard dash, good enough to hang with top-combined linebackers. Wayne, just 225 pounds, he's built for a hybrid linebacker safety role in the pros. Word from Scouts is he'd slide right into a 3-safety scheme, like the one Packers coordinator Jeff Haffley might borrow from past setups. His size means he plug run gaps without getting bullied by big offensive lines.

1:04Loyalty like his stands out in today's Transfer Heavy College game. Diving into his measurables, Quinn hit a 33-inch vertical, 10-foot-two broad jump, 4.41 shuttle, 7.32, 3-cone, and 21 bench reps. Arms at 32-and-a-half inches, hands 9-3-8s, solid tools for coverage and tackling. Arms got 30 slots for these visits, excluding local kids, so Quinn's one to watch as they build that depth chart. Stay tuned, this could be the start of something special in the secondary.
