Drones is a Baylor transfer who spent three seasons at Virginia Tech. He profiles as a true dual-threat quarterback, with a size-and-speed footprint similar to Malik Willis and the ability to beat defenses with both his arm and his legs. While the Hokies didn’t always provide a consistent offensive system, Drones flashed high-end upside when given opportunities.
Green Bay’s intent with the visit isn’t to challenge Jordan Love but to add a Willis-style option in a supporting role—potentially as a backup or developmental prospect without a heavy draft investment.
With Micah Parsons traded away, the Packers don’t own a first-round pick in 2026 (or 2027), so defense remains the top priority when they pick in the second round. The team could target a pass rusher in that range, with several options in a deep second-round class including Joshua Josephs, Keyron Crawford, Nadame Tucker, and Gabe Jacas.
Overall, the mystery quarterback visit highlights Green Bay’s dual focus on quarterback depth and defensive reinforcements as they navigate a draft class rich in edge-rush talent. The plan suggests a strategic emphasis on strengthening the defense while keeping development options available at quarterback.
