The Green Bay Packers have a smart strategy with pre-draft visits, targeting players they really want either in the draft or later on. Since the 2022 draft, they've hosted 30 such prospects and most have made the roster through drafts, undrafted signings, or post-draft moves like Tackle Daring Kinnard and Tyda and Josh Wilde. One name from those visits stands out, Los Angeles charges Lyman Scott Matlock, who came to Green Bay back in 2023. He's a versatile player with elite athleticism, originally a defensive tackle who shifted to offense and special teams. Matlock has logged hundreds of snaps across the board, including 266 on defense as a rookie, over 360 on offense. This year, and nearly 500 total on special teams. His 153 special teams reps this season would rank eighth on the Packers roster.

1:01The charges just signed former Miami Fullback, Alec Engold, who follows his old coach, Mike McDaniel, to LA. Teams rarely keep two fullbacks, so Matlock lives like he's on the bubble and could hit free agency soon. Packers fans should keep an eye on him. His size and skills could ease pressure on the interior line, boost special teams like Carl Brooks does, or even cover some tight-end snaps left by. Kinnard.
