    Inbox: It's the X-factor every team is searching for

    Brian from Hartford, WI It seems many fans discount improvement via the development of young players already on the roster. It begs the question why they were drafted in the first place. Few were grabbed as instant starters plugging gaping holes. Many who start early exhibit growing pains...

    Deep backfield has Packers ready for 'huge chess match'

    Now, the Packers have assembled perhaps their deepest backfield since Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, William Henderson and the indomitable Tony Fisher filled out Green Bay's depth chart in the early 2000s.

    Nate from St. Francis, MN How much impact do you believe the COVID pandemic will have on the NFL's international expansion plans? My gut is telling me that it will push them back multiple years. Yeah, I don't think it's controversial to say that at all. The international series already has...

    Who are the Packers' greatest offensive players since 1950?

    Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers? Already it's an age-old debate and it will likely continue to rage for another generation or more. Through his weekly preparation, self-discipline, mental toughness and a skill set well suited for Vince Lombardi's offense, basically built around one play, the...

    Matt LaFleur embraced the challenge of Packers' virtual offseason

    And based on a small sample of players who spoke to the media this offseason, the coaches succeeded in that task. "I think we've done a great job remotely of teaching it. I have no problems," said left tackle David Bakhtiari earlier this month. "I think we have the best structure. I've been...

    Quartet of specialists provides stability for Packers

    A fifth-round pick in 2018, Scott has gone through his share of ups and downs through two years as a pro. While statistically overall he's been solid (44.7-yard gross average in '18, 44.0 last year; nets of 38.8, 39.9), and he improved his punts inside the 20 from 19 as a rookie to 29 in his...

    Inbox: You get what you put into this sport

    Since Brian Gutekunst used his first pick as Packers general manager to draft Alexander 18th overall out of Louisville in 2018, the 5-foot-10, 196-pound cornerback has been pitted against elite NFL receivers on an almost weekly basis. His natural talent and tenacity have Gray excited to work...
