It looks like the Packer receiver with the greatest name, Geronimo Allison, played on the same team as Malik Turner. How did their stats compare from college? And were there measurables different or similar coming out of college?


Allison and Turner were teammates at Illinois for two seasons, 2014-15. Over those two years, Allison had 106 catches for 1,480 yards and eight TDs, while Turner's numbers were 64-766-4. Turner played two more years after that for the Illini and added 79-1,048-6 to his totals. Turner didn't really have any pre-draft data. He wasn't invited to the combine and was a very limited participant in Illinois' pro day due to a foot injury.

Mike and/or Wes, please let the fine folks of the II comment section know I'm alive and well. Have either of you been paying attention to the NHL? Bubble hockey is on to something. No COVID cases! Which two NFL cities do you think could pull off being hubs?


From the perspective of playing the games, I imagine it would be best to pick two indoor stadiums with artificial surfaces. As for the rest of the logistics, I have no idea.


Rob from Barrington, IL


With players about to start practice has there been any talk of placing plastic face shields inside of the face mask to reduce the spread of COVID? Would such an action be a player decision or a medical staff decision?


It's my understanding the players have options, and LaFleur said the Packers are leaving it up to the players to make their own decisions. They aren't mandating anything regarding their equipment.


Rich from Grand Rapids, MI


Who do you see as the best tackler in the secondary and in the linebacker position groups?


Well, I've never seen him play for the Packers, but Christian Kirksey's track record would indicate he's a darn good tackler. Ty Summers' college career would indicate the same. In the secondary, I think Adrian Amos is Green Bay's best tackler. His form is textbook.


Joe from Wausau, WI


Wouldn't the press conferences you guys attend be more interesting if some of you asked questions in a Scoops Callahan-type mode?


Interesting? Perhaps. Informative and helpful? No.


George from North Mankato, MN


Should we read anything into the message that David Bakhtiari wore on his shirt during his video?


Other than he's probably not interested in talking about his contract situation, and he'll let his agent speak for him? I don't think so, and I don't blame him.
