The Green Bay Packers hosted a pre-draft visit with Penn State safety Jaquan Brisker, according to David Wyatt-Hupton.
Brisker played in 34 games (21 starts), produced 153 tackles (10 for loss), 19 pass breakups and five interceptions, and was a two-time All-Big Ten selection. He was a second-team All-American after creating 64 tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions for Penn State’s defense in 2021.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic ranks Brisker as the No. 5 overall safety and No. 42 overall player in the draft class.
Brisker is best playing closer to the line of scrimmage and could profile as a versatile in-the-box safety, much like former Packers defensive back Morgan Burnett. If selected by Green Bay, Brisker could give the Packers a third safety type as a rookie before eventually moving into a starting role if either Adrian Amos or Darnell Savage depart following the 2022 season.
Brisker (6-1, 199) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds, hit 34.5″ in the vertical leap and covered 10-4 in the broad jump at the NFL Scouting Combine. He completed the short shuttle in 4.19 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.91 seconds while also improving his 40 time to 4.43 seconds and vertical leap to 38.5″ at Penn State’s pro day. His Relative Athletic Score (RAS) is 9.13
Brisker turned 23 years old on April 20.

The Packers would likely need to use a first-round pick or potentially trade up in the second round to get Brisker next week.
