According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Green Bay Packers are bringing in Louisville off-ball linebacker T.J. Quinn for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers’ pre-draft visitors have a high chance of being added to Green Bay’s roster, either in the draft, undrafted free agency or further down the line.
Louisville just had its pro day, which the Packers attended, so it’s possible that Quinn flashed there and they wanted to get a second look at the non-combine invite. While Quinn did make the roster for the American Bowl all-star game this draft cycle, he is not one of the 677 players who are currently ranked on the consensus draft board. I’d go ahead and assume that Quinn would likely come to Green Bay as an undrafted player if he does end up signing with the Packers.

According to NFL Draft Scout, Quinn measured in at 6’0”-flat and 227 pounds at his pro day after being listed at 6’1” and 235 pounds by Louisville. He was a three-year starter for the Cardinals and was named a third-team All-ACC linebacker as a redshirt senior.
With the Packers switching to a 3-4 defense this offseason, it seems highly unlikely that Green Bay will keep more than five off-ball linebackers on its 53-man roster. Zaire Franklin, Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie and Ty’Ron Hopper seem like virtual locks to make the team, barring a trade or injury. Behind them, Nick Niemann, Kristian Welch and Jamon Johnson, who would primarily help on special teams, return, too. There’s not much space for another off-ball linebacker on this team, so it makes sense that Green Bay would go the undrafted route at the position, in case they aren’t able to keep players like Welch or Johnson on the practice squad for whatever reason.
