    Kamal Martin belongs in the middle of the action

    Martin perhaps could have been a Day 2 draft selection if not for the injury. He had been playing outside linebacker in the 2017-18 seasons before shifting inside, and he took to it naturally, in part due to his QB background and understanding of defensive fronts. As an all-state prep star in...

    Inbox: He's a hard-charging back who's all ball

    Bob from Rossford, OH Thanks for providing the A.J. Dillon highlights. Beyond his size, strength and speed, what caught my eye was his workmanlike attitude on display. Big run? Get up, hand the ball to the ref and get ready for the next play. Turn a screen pass into a big gain? Get up, hand...

    Packers weighing all their options at nickel cornerback

    "I certainly like a bunch of the guys we have on our roster right now," said Gutekunst following last weekend's NFL Draft.

    Inbox: He's off to a whale of a start

    A.J. from Brisbane, Australia Curtis Bolton: Before his injury, he seemed like a surprising gem at inside linebacker. What are your thoughts on him returning this year? His chances all depend on getting back to his pre-injury self. If he's able to do that by the start of training camp, I...

    Inbox: What happens on the field is all that matters

    Brad from Crofton, MD Not to nitpick, but I believe the rodent art work referred to behind Wes is a gray squirrel, not a chipmunk. (I'm a highly trained wildlife biologist, but a Packer fan first and foremost!) That is the fine work of the incredibly talented Katie Bobber. I bought it for my...
