Indianapolis becomes the center of the football world for the next week as it hosts the Combine once again.
While the NFL’s premier offseason event — the NFL Draft — is still two months away, this week is the league’s next-biggest thing. The 2024 NFL Combine officially begins today, and although coaches, GMs, and prospects don’t start making formal public appearances until Tuesday, the city of Indianapolis is beginning to welcome the league to its downtown area today to get the event underway.
The Green Bay Packers have no shortage of intrigue heading into this year’s Combine, though the drama of the past few years is replaced by excitement and optimism. Instead of the absurdity of the Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams situations each of the past two years, the biggest question is how much Jordan Love will get paid, rather than whether a star will force his way out of Green Bay. That and how the team will bolster its new-look defense are storylines that make for far more enjoyable coverage for writers and readers alike.
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst will speak at 10 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, so be sure to keep it here at APC for full coverage of his presser and the rest of the events throughout Combine week.

How does Packers LB Quay Walker fit into Jeff Hafley’s defense? | Packers Wire
While the Packers probably need a couple of linebackers, what type they target may be dependent on what they decide to do with Walker. He might fit best on the weak side, which would probably require the team to find a new Mike at the very least.
