One little nugget of information to keep in mind with the 2026 NFL draft approaching: the Green Bay Packers hosted a quarterback on a pre-draft visit, per Bill Huber of Packers on SI, but Huber was "asked to not report" the name -- potentially providing a mystery target for a team likely hunting for a developmental quarterback in this draft.

The Packers hosted Texas Tech's Behren Morton on a pre-draft visit, but Morton is a late Day 3 or undrafted free agent type. Given the nature of Huber's report, the mystery quarterback is likely a draftable player at the position, and the Packers likely don't want the team's interest in the player to be widely known.

Green Bay hasn't drafted a quarterback since taking Sean Clifford in the fifth round in 2023. After losing Malik Willis in free agency, the Packers are likely re-entering the developmental quarterback market in 2026.

Could it be Ty Simpson, a likely late first-round pick or Day 2 option? The Packers could have used a visit on Simpson to prepare in case of a fall down the draft board.

Could it be Drew Allar, a highly touted three-year starter who is coming off a significant injury? Checking out his injured left ankle could necessitate a visit.

Could it be Cole Payton, the left-handed star from North Dakota State who missed time in 2024 with a shoulder injury and has just one year of starting experience?

Could it be Carson Beck, a 43-game starter who finished 37-6 in his career but also had UCL surgery on his throwing elbow?

Could it be Taylen Green, the big, super athletic quarterback who turned the ball over too much and needs plenty of development at the next level?

Could it be Diego Pavia, a four-year starter with dual-threat ability and some interesting off-the-field incidents

Or could it be another late-round option, like Jalon Daniels, Joey Aguilar, Joey Fagano, Mark Gronowski or Jack Strand -- all fits from Mark Oldacres' deep dive on the quarterbacks?

A visitor the team wants to keep secret suggests true interest. And suggests the Packers don't want a team to know the interest and jump them for the player at some point in the draft. Quarterback is an important position, and getting the right type of player and person -- even in a developmental backup -- is paramount. Back in 2023, the Packers saw a run on quarterbacks and scrambled to take Clifford in the fifth round. He lasted one year as a backup and then flamed out, opening the door for the Packers to trade for Willis.

The mystery quarterback would be the 29th and second-to-last reported visit of the 30 visits each team gets before the draft.
