LADARIUS GUNTER, CB, Miami (Fla.)
Basics: From Montgomery, Ala. Spent two years at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College, redshirting in 2010 and playing CB in ’11. At Miami, started five of the last six games at CB in 2012 before starting 25 games in 2013-’14, mostly at safety. Finished with 101 tackles (three for loss), six interceptions and 18 passes defensed. Selected the Packers over a host of teams, including Dallas, Carolina and Detroit.
Measurables: 6-1½, 201, 4.65. Vertical jump of 33½, broad jump of 9-0, 12 reps on the bench and Wonderlic of 18. Arms were 31½, hands were 9 5⁄8.
Gunter: “I’m a high-motor guy. I’m a physical guy. I learn very well and I’m very versatile. I can play safety and corner. It really doesn’t matter. I’ll come there and work. That’s all I know. If someone’s ahead of me I’ll just keep working. . . . A lot of teams called. I was just basically going after a place that was best for me to fit in at. ”
NFC scout: “Down the line guy. Miami has fooled me over the years. There are some defensive backs that come out of there that played better than I ever thought they would. The kid in Green Bay (Sam Shields) is one of them.”
AFC scout: “Great kid. Heart. Tough. Better safety than corner. I just don’t think he runs well enough. If he plays corner he’s got to be in a (Cover) 2 press kind of deal. He will put his hands on you. The turn and the running and the flexibility and the twitch, I worry about that.”
