The team is hosting safety Vonn Bell from Ohio State, cornerback Jonathan Jones of Auburn, safety T.J. Green from Clemson, cornerback Ryan Smith from North Carolina Central and linebacker Jatavis Brown from Akron.

The most recent crop of visitors moves the overall numbers of the team's pre-draft visits heavily leaning towards the defensive side of the football. This is to be expected, especially after the team's run in Free Agency saw them make many additions, and retain several players, on the offensive side of the football.
