The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who the Green Bay Packers could select in the 2025 NFL draft.
The Green Bay Packers are doing a mini remodel of the cornerback room at 1265 Lombardi Avenue this offseason. They lost Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine and Robert Rochell to free agency, and Jaire Alexander's days inside that room could be numbered.
Brian Gutekunst signed Nate Hobbs to a four-year deal. The former Las Vegas Raider can play in the slot or on the boundary and gives Jeff Hafley another versatile piece in the secondary.
The makeover of that room will continue during the 2025 NFL Draft, where Gutekunst will likely use a pair of picks on the position.
A potential target early in the draft is Shavon Revel Jr. The East Carolina cornerback checks in at No. 14 in the Unpacking Future Packers Countdown.
After a 10-hour overnight shift at Amazon, Shavon Revel drove to Greenville for a tryout at ECU, which put him on an NFL path.

Revel started his collegiate career at the JUCO level before transferring to East Carolina in 2022, where he missed the beginning of the season due to a hand injury he suffered during offseason workouts. Revel enjoyed a breakout season in 2023, recording 54 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception and 13 pass deflections.

Standing at 6-1 with nearly 33-inch arms and an impressive track background, Revel has a unique combination of size and speed. He stands out on the gridiron. Due to that combination, Revel was No. 35 on Bruce Feldman's Annual Freaks list. From Feldman:
"A former high school track standout, Revel ran a 6.90 55-meter dash time, but really got on the Pirates’ wish list after he ran a 4.40 40 and broad-jumped 11 feet during a summer camp. At 6-3, 190 pounds, Revel has ideal size for an NFL corner."
With his speed, Revel is able to stay attached to wide receivers on a vertical plane. He reaches his top gear quickly. He has easy change of direction skills and composed footwork to mirror receivers in coverage. He's able to stay hip-to-hip with wide receivers. If he gets beat, he has the elite recovery speed and doesn't panic when the ball is in the air.
