    Inbox: He's on the path to greatness

    Angela from Brighton, MI Thank you Mark Murphy and the Packers players in the video. I needed that. We all needed that. The Packers are very deliberate in how they handle sensitive matters like this. They don't just pull out "Boilerplate Press Release No. 38" from the crisis communication...

    Statement from Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy

    "The Packers community has been horrified at the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others.

    Inbox: I wish we all could have been in that meeting

    Scott from Grovetown, GA I find it interesting that some teams are putting forth an effort to establish a run-heavy offense.
