The University of Wisconsin has a pair of elite athletes at positions of need for the Green Bay Packers, suggesting both in-state prospects should be on the team’s draft radar this spring.
Linebacker Leo Chenal and defensive lineman Matt Henningsen both solidified their status as top athletes during Wisconsin’s pro day on Wednesday.
Chenal, who aced the combine in Indianapolis last week, completed the bench press and agility drills in Madison. He put up 34 reps on the bench and finished the three-cone drill in 6.84 seconds and the short shuttle in 3.94 seconds. There’s always the hometown timing advantage involved with pro days, but even with slight adjustments to each time, Chenal cemented his pre-draft profile as an elite athlete.
