Explosive wide receiver for Packers to target in draft: Kevin Austin, Notre Dame

Kevin Austin Jr. doesn’t dominate in one category like some of the other players on this list, but he’s just a great all-around athlete. He ran a 4.42 40-yard dash, had great agility times in the shuttle and 3-cone drills, and was a great leaper as well.

When you add it all together, Austin could be a dynamic weapon for the Packers’ offense. He had 48 receptions for 888 yards and seven touchdowns in his junior year at Notre Dame and could play in the slot or on the outside for Green Bay. The Packers hold the 171st overall selection (fifth round) and he could be a target at that spot.
