Tom from Walnut Creek, CA Been a Packers fan over 50 years. Everyone take a deep breath. Just something to think about. In March 1967, the Green Bay Packers drafted Don Horn in the first round at No. 24. Bart Starr was 33 years old and had just won two NFL titles and played five more years. No...

Richard from Madison, WI Re: the "other guy" question, let me be reader No. 5,722 to point out that the "other guy" on the receiving end of all those passes at Fresno State from can't-miss superstar Derek Carr was this modest, unheralded fella named Davante Adams. I don't think I'd...

Sometimes a change in perspective can make an image stand out. It's rare for me to come away from a game with this photo, mainly because I'm always positioned in front of the action. Certain situations during a game will allow me to gamble on some compositions. Seeing that the Packers were...

Love had a dynamite 2018 season for the Aggies, throwing for 32 touchdowns against just six interceptions to go with a 64% completion rate and 3,567 yards. He earned second-team All-Mountain West Conference honors and was named the conference's player of the week five times. This past season...

It has included a lot of personal and professional triumphs. Love lost his father when he was only 14, an earth-rattling event that caused him to lean heavily on family, friends and football to pull through it. On the football field, Love was a mostly overlooked prospect. Despite throwing for...

"Aaron's been around a long time and knows what we're playing for right now," Gutekunst said late Thursday night on a media conference call. "We have the best quarterback in the National Football League and we plan to have him for a while competing for championships. "I think he'll be a pro's...

Kyle from Osceola, WI Even with Mason Crosby re-signing this offseason, would it surprise you a whole lot if they bring in a second kicker if training camp happens yet this summer? I would be floored. Jim from Bloomington, IN It's not a given, but I'd be surprised if at least one of the...

Dennis from Rhinelander, WI Bart Starr was a 17th-round selection. What was the actual number of the selection? Also, can you imagine having that many rounds to cover? Starr was the 200th pick in 1956, when there were 30 draft rounds in a league of a dozen teams. Back then the first few...

Diggs is the younger brother of former Minnesota Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs, who was traded to Buffalo this offseason. Unlike Stefon, a fifth-round pick in 2015, Trevon could very well be drafted in the first round. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound cornerback was recruited to Alabama as a four-star...

The commitment to players like Ervin and Redmond with niche or backup roles on offense and defense shows an appreciation for the strides made under first-year coordinator Shawn Mennenga last season. Reducing accepted penalties on special teams by more than 60% (from 26 in 2018 to 10 in 2019)...

In his first two drafts as GM, Gutekunst entered with the No. 14 and 12 overall picks, respectively, and he turned his 2018 first-rounder from No. 14 to 18 with a couple of trades. He also traded up with an additional first-round pick last year to select at No. 21. This time he'll be waiting...

Dave from Anacortes, WA As a GM, is there one particular injured college player you'd take more of a chance on drafting (higher) thinking a chunk of the 2020 NFL season may not be played anyway so that guy could use the year to recuperate? Julian Okwara, the Notre Dame pass rusher who's...

Green Bay has had at least one college free agent make its initial 53-man roster for the last 15 years and had 30 undrafted free agents make the team in the past decade. The Packers finished the 2019 season with 12 former undrafted free agents on the active roster, including cornerbacks Tramon...
