Matt from Minneapolis, MN Do you think Kylin Hill could be the best value pick of our draft? When I read his draft profile I can't help but be reminded of Jamaal Williams when they talk about his size and violent running style. I know those are big shoes to fill, Williams was incredibly...

GREEN BAY – Defensive coaches will always talk about the stress points in their scheme. Depending on certain rush or coverage calls, the stress will be placed somewhere – or more accurately, on somebody – to hold up. A double-team here means single coverage over there, or a blitz vacates an...

Brian from Fitchburg, WI There are early references to the Packers starting in 1918. Why haven't you bought in? Glad you asked. And not only are you correct about those early references to 1918, but the person who wrote them was George Whitney Calhoun, co-founder of the Packers. Obviously...

George from Manassas, VA Regarding David Bakhtiari's return, didn't Bryan Bulaga return quicker than expected from a torn ACL to start the next season? I understand injuries can be very different, but what was Bulaga's timeline? Bulaga did return ahead of schedule, in time for the 2018...

GREEN BAY – Statistically, Eric Stokes displayed a monumental shift in his game over his final year at Georgia. While playing in 27 contests with 16 starts over the 2018-19 seasons, Stokes didn't have a single interception. Then during 10 games in 2020, he picked off four passes and returned...

Justin from Los Angeles, CA Wes referred to Josh Meyers as a "new age interior offensive lineman" at 6-5. What's the reasoning behind the evolution to taller guards and centers? The old-school line of thinking was shorter interior offensive linemen had a better chance of getting underneath...

Sawyer from Simpsonville, SC Am I the only Packers fan not totally stressed about Aaron Rodgers? Jordan Love has some serious talent, even if he needs another year or two, and with the way there have been so many QBs coming out of college and playing at high levels quickly, it hopefully...

Capra spent the past two seasons at San Diego State (2019-20) after playing for Oregon from 2016-18. He appeared in 21 games for the Aztecs with 14 starts and in 15 games for the Ducks with one start. In 2020, he started all eight contests at left guard and was named fourth-team All-Mountain...

Joel from Las Vegas, NV In Gute's press conference Saturday night he said he was hoping to take a LB early, but that it didn't work out. None of the first-round LBs even got close, and they went about when projected. With the Rodgers trade, it clearly wasn't the third. I think the Packers...

"Our thoughts are with all our friends with the Oneida Nation after the senseless and tragic shooting that took place last night. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of those who lost their lives, and we appreciate the actions of law enforcement officials in reacting to the...

"We'll get him with the position coaches and get him going," Sullivan said. "There's no need to try and pencil him into one or the other today, but regardless of where he ends up, we feel good about it." Newman's body type strikes Sullivan initially as that of a guard, which in some ways made...

GREEN BAY – The Packers need a third running back for 2021, and they used their last pick of the draft to add some competition to the mix. Green Bay chose Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill with their ninth and final selection, at No. 256 overall in the seventh round. Hill (5-11, 215)...

Van Lanen does recall the first Packers game he attended as a kid was a preseason contest against the Falcons when Michael Vick was the Atlanta QB, and he grew up a huge fan of both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. As his football career got serious, he took a stronger liking to Packers left...

GREEN BAY – The dust had barely settled on the Packers' second sixth-round pick Saturday and AJ Dillon was already blowing up Isaiah McDuffie's phone with excitement. It came after the revelation the two former Boston College Eagles would once again be teammates after the Packers picked...

Inside linebacker: Two newcomers last year, undrafted Krys Barnes and fifth-round pick Kamal Martin, moved ahead of Ty Summers in 2020, and the trio now has another young prospect along in sixth-rounder Isaiah McDuffie from Boston College. Gutekunst planned to address the position earlier in...

Great question, Rob. I appreciate your creativity. No, the promotion/relegation concept has not been discussed at the league level. I know that it has been utilized in the European soccer leagues for years. I don't follow soccer that closely, but I know that the top teams in Europe recently...

GREEN BAY – The Packers have taken another offensive lineman, drafting Mississippi senior Royce Newman in the fourth round, No. 142 overall. Newman (6-5, 310) started 12 games at left guard in 2019 before starting 10 games at right tackle this past season. He was a four-star prospect out of...
