Packers host Temple WR Adonicas Sanders on official pre-draft visit

The Packers hosted Temple WR Adonicas Sanders on an official top 30 visit ahead of the 2023 draft.

The Green Bay Packers hosted Temple wide reciever Adonicas Sanders on an official top-30 visit ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Sanders spent the 2022 at Temple after playing his first five collegiate seasons at Georgia Tech. In 2022, he caught 37 passes for 437 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing six times for 22 yards. At Georgia Tech (2017-2021), he caught 65 passes and scored four touchdowns over 35 games and 14 starts.

At Temple’s pro day, Sanders (6-0, 189) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 seconds, hit 32″ in the vertical leap, covered 9-10 in the broad jump, finished the three-cone in 7.27 seconds and the short shuttle in 4.33 seconds and completed 11 reps on the bench press. His Relative Athletic Score is 2.88 out of 10.0.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic ranked Sanders as his 142nd overall wide receiver in the class and a likely undrafted free agent.

In a pre-draft interview with Draft Diamonds, Sanders said his best attributes as a player are “yards after catch and downfield  blocking.”

What kind of player? “A versatile receiver that can play outside or slot. And can make an impact on special teams,” Sanders told Draft Diamonds.

The Packers likely used the pre-draft visit to recruit Sanders to Green Bay following the draft.
