With the Green Bay Packers sitting at home for almost a month already, the 2023 NFL Draft is creeping closer, as the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl week was just concluded.

The 74th annual event concluded with the National team defeating the American team 27-10 on Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium at the University of South Alabama. Over 100 prospects participated in three days of practices and the Senior Bowl contest with a great chance to improve their draft stock.

The Packers’ front office was surely paying close attention. Here are five draft prospects who walked away as the biggest winners from Senior Bowl week.

All eyes were on the Senior Bowl last week and these five NFL Draft prospects should have caught the eye of the Green Bay Packers.

Payne Durham, Tight End, Purdue

The Packers will be in the market for a tight end at some point this offseason, likely in the draft. Durham turned heads all week and concluded with a strong showing in the Senior Bowl game. He has a nice combination of blocking prowess and receiving chops, showing off both throughout the week. He still has work to do in each department–he didn’t start playing football until late in high school and could be seen as a late bloomer.
