The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects that could be selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 NFL draft.
The Jordan Love era is upon us. Love is all around us. Once Aaron Rodgers is traded to the New York Jets, the Green Bay Packers will officially have a new quarterback under center.
After drafting three wide receivers last season, one would expect Brian Gutekunst to focus on adding weapons early and often in the 2023 NFL Draft to help set Love up for success.
A player that Green Bay’s general manager could target in the upcoming draft is Jonathan Mingo. The Ole Miss wide receiver checks in at No. 48 in the Unpacking Future Packers countdown.
One Day 3 WR target for NFL teams that value size & explosive traits is @OleMissFB WR Jonathan Mingo.
Mingo weighed 220 lbs at Combine, ran 4.46 official, and hit 39.5 VJ & 10-9 BJ.

He came back to a completely rebuilt receiving corps in 2022 and shined. There were times when Ole Miss struggled in terms of consistent perimeter playmakers, but he and Malik Heath were really 1A and 1B.”
Mingo has an excellent blend of size (6-2, 220 lbs) strength, and quickness. That combination makes him dangerous in space. If he makes the first defender miss he has the speed to create chunk plays.
