The Green Bay Packers will host cornerback Charles Demmings from Stephen F. Austin University for a top-30 pre-draft visit. Demmings, a three-year starter and first-team all-conference selection, impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine with his size, speed, and athleticism. The Packers are looking to add cornerback depth in the draft, and Demmings will get a chance to showcase his skills and potential to make the jump from the FCS level to the NFL.

Why it matters

The Packers are in need of cornerback help after losing several players at the position in free agency. Demmings, with his impressive physical tools, could be a mid-to-late round target who could contribute on defense and special teams right away.

The details

Demmings, a 6-foot-1, 193-pound cornerback, was a three-year starter at Stephen F. Austin and a first-team all-Southland Conference selection in 2025 after finishing tied for the team lead with four interceptions. He impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine, running a 4.41 40-yard dash and posting a 42-inch vertical jump and 11-foot broad jump. Demmings was the first player in school history to receive an invitation to the Senior Bowl, giving scouts a chance to evaluate him against top competition.

  • Demmings will make a top-30 pre-draft visit to the Green Bay Packers in April 2026.
