The Green Bay Packers signed one of the top undrafted free agents available following the 2020 draft.

Cornerback Stanford Samuels III agreed to sign with the Packers, according to Florida State football’s official Twitter account.

Samuels (6-0, 187) produced 24 pass breakups and eight interceptions over 37 games and 24 starts with Florida State. He was an early entrant into the draft but didn’t get drafted.

At the combine, Samuels ran the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds – the slowest time among cornerbacks – and didn’t do any jumps or agility testing, likely tanking his draft stock.

According to Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Samuels is an experienced press corner with a long wingspan (almost 77″) and ball skills. Brugler ranked Samuels as his 26th best cornerback in the class.

Considering his lack of speed and lapses in man-to-man coverage, some have considered Samuels a potential candidate to move to safety at the next level.

Lance Zierlein’s scouting report on Samuels, whom he considered a potential future starter: “Tall, slender, man-cover corner who is disruptive and physical from press but needs to rely on technique and footwork to avoid penalties at the next level. Stat services dinged him for catches and yards allowed that should have clearly gone on the safety’s tab. He plays with good instincts and athleticism to make plays on the football and is a challenging matchup on 50/50 balls. He possesses the necessary traits to fit into a variety of coverage schemes, but teams will want to see better effort and consistency in run support. Samuels might find starter’s work within the first couple of years in the league.”

The Packers didn’t draft a cornerback, opening the door for Samuels to compete for a roster spot. Veteran Tramon Williams remains unsigned.
