Rookie WR Savion Williams almost makes a great diving catch on a deep ball from Willis, but can’t hang on as he hits the ground. Willis follows up with a bullet over the middle to Hardman, hits him in stride. #Packers QB2 sure throws a nice ball.
New #Packers CB Nate Hobbs is an intense player. That’s what we heard when he was signed and it was no lie. Evident on the field in these early practices.
Really competitive stuff at the start of 11-on-11 for #Packers. Love threaded tight throws to Reed & Hardman on first 2 plays, then Bullard knocked away a crosser for Kraft.
TE1 leading his position group in drills. If we’ve heard the phrase “scratching the surface” once w/Tucker Kraft, we’ve heard it a hundred times. Exciting to see what Year 3 brings.
Veteran K Brandon McManus started #Packers camp going 6-for-6 on his kicks yesterday.
Rookie 7th-round pick CB Micah Robinson (26) is back on the practice field for #Packers after missing time with a knee injury.
Veteran LB Isaiah Simmons (28), who is getting base snaps on the strong side with Quay Walker not back yet, had an impressive first practice of #Packers camp yesterday. His speed is evident in 11-on-11.
OL Jordan Morgan running up and down along the bleachers to fire up the Nitschke Field crowd for #Packers training camp. That’s becoming the duty of one lineman each day before they begin indy drills.
First #Packers training camp practice is in the books. Here's some news & notes on what occurred: @emplifybellin packers.com/news/5-things-…
Nixon blankets Doubs on end zone fade from Love, then Doubs beats Nixon with inside slant move for TD. Good players competing back & forth for #Packers.
Willis threads the needle to Golden in red zone for TD on crosser. Slick throw & catch. Then he finds Hardman getting separation in the end zone for another #Packers TD.
McKinney with the first pick of #Packers camp as he rises up to snag Love’s deep corner for Wicks in the end zone.
#Packers positional musings: With Jenkins out (back injury), first OL had Rhyan at C & Morgan at RG. Second set for first unit had Monk at C & Rhyan at RG. On defense, Bullard was first up at nickel corner. In base, Simmons opened as third LB alongside Cooper & McDuffie with…
There’s CB Bo Melton sporting his new number 16 as he joins the #Packers DBs for drills.
