The Green Bay Packers have a 9-4 record this season in the NFL. Green Bay is currently the sixth seed in the NFC. If the season ended today, they would face the Seattle Seahawks. The funny thing is that the Packers will face the Seahawks on the road this weekend.

The 2025 NFL Draft is not far away and it will be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In the 2011 NFL Draft, Green Bay selected wide receiver Randall Cobb from the Kentucky Wildcats in the first round. Could they use another first-round pick this season on a Kentucky player?

Thedraftnetwork.com writer Daniel Harms created his latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft. He has the Green Bay Packers selecting 26th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Harms thinks that Green Bay will take Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Maxwell Hairston with that selection. Daniel Harms said:
“Eric Stokes and Corey Ballentine are pending free agents and the Packers’ secondary could use more talent to help out Xavier McKinney and the pass rush. While Maxwell Harrison has missed time with an injury, he’s long and instinctual with good movement skills and would be a great addition to Green Bay.”
Hairston this season has recorded 19 tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, one interception, one touchdown, and four pass deflections. He has been very effective for Kentucky when on the field. Maxwell Hairston only played in five games this season for the Wildcats.
Effective the Season Before

Hairston was effective in 2023 for Kentucky. During that season, he recorded 66 tackles, one forced fumble, five interceptions, two touchdowns, and six pass deflections. The Green Bay Packers could use a talented cornerback like him on the roster. Green Bay may need to draft a couple of cornerbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft.
They didn’t address that position well during the 2024 NFL Draft. There is no doubt that Green Bay will be scouting Maxwell Hairston and other cornerbacks before the 2025 NFL Draft. Hairston is 6’1″ and weighs 186 lbs.
