Green Bay, WI – April 29, 2025 – Forget the draft boards — the Green Bay Packers might have found two hidden weapons after the 2025 NFL Draft dust settled. ESPN’s draft guru Todd McShay believes Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Nazir Stackhouse are ready to make noise in Titletown — and they didn’t even cost a pick.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson, the hard-hitting linebacker who once dominated at Georgia before a transfer to Kentucky, headlines McShay’s favorites. Standing at 6’0.75” and 236 pounds, Dumas-Johnson brings All-American pedigree and raw aggression. Though a broken arm derailed his 2023 season, his 4.60-second 40-yard dash proves the wheels are still there. McShay loves his old-school toughness and sees immediate value on special teams — an area the Packers always prize for breakout candidates.
Next up, Nazir Stackhouse, a mountain of a man at 6’3.75” and 327 pounds. A three-year starter at Georgia, Stackhouse somehow slipped through all seven rounds, shocking even McShay. With TJ Slaton gone in free agency, Stackhouse has a clear shot to plug into the defensive line rotation. His experience manning the trenches in the SEC could quietly pay massive dividends for a Packers defense seeking more muscle up front.
“Two proven warriors from Georgia, now hungry underdogs in Green Bay. Watch out,” McShay said.
For a team that thrives on developing overlooked talent, the Packers might have just landed two Day 1 contributors… without spending a single draft pick. 🧀🔥
