With the Green Bay Packers’ season ending prematurely, it’s time to turn our attention to the offseason and Draft Season.

Green Bay holds the 15th selection in the first round of the draft following their 8-9 season. Several intriguing prospects could be available around that pick; we’ll learn more as we get closer to the draft.

One of those prospects is a wide receiver out of TCU, Quentin Johnson. Johnson had 59 receptions for 1,064 yards and six touchdowns last year and would give the Packers’ quarterback (whoever that is) a big target. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, he can haul in just about anything thrown his way; he has no problem jumping over and through defenders to haul in the pass. That will be a huge boost in the red zone where Green Bay has struggled the last couple of years.

With the 2023 NFL Draft a few months away, keep your eye on these five prospects for the Green Bay Packers as the festivities ramp up.

He would also give them another big play threat to compliment Christian Watson. Johnson was explosive at TCU, averaging nearly 19 yards per reception. Here are four other first-round prospects to watch throughout the draft process.
