Medical exams will likely be the focus of this visit.
When the Green Bay Packers invite a highly-rated player for a pre-draft visit, they often focus on those with lingering questions related to athletics, character, or medical history. A report has surfaced about a player who definitely falls into the latter category.
The player in question is Shavon Revel, a cornerback from East Carolina. Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reported that the visit will likely concentrate on Revel’s recovery from a torn ACL.
After spending two years at community college, Revel joined the Pirates in 2022 and became a standout player, earning a full-time starting position as a junior in 2023. That season, he was named to the second-team All-AAC, recording 54 total tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 13 pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown. In 2024, he recorded two interceptions in just three games, including a 50-yard pick-six, before suffering an ACL injury in practice prior to week four.
Revel reportedly anticipates being fully recovered and ready for his rookie training camp this summer, but the Packers will likely want to assess his knee to ensure there are no long-term concerns regarding his health.
Standing just under 6-foot-2 and weighing 194 pounds, Revel is among the more physically dominant cornerbacks in this year’s draft class. If he joins the Packers, he would immediately become the tallest corner on the roster by at least two inches, adding much-needed size to the position group.
Currently, Revel is ranked as the 39th overall prospect in this draft class according to the Mock Draft Database and often appears towards the end of various mock drafts. However, a recent 7-round mock draft by ESPN’s Matt Miller has him being selected by the Packers with their second-round pick at number 54 overall.
