Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from
Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spafford, joined as always
Speaker 1: by my trust in colleague Wes Hodquitz. We're coming to
Speaker 1: you here from our Pottawotomy sportsbook Studio and Wes. Just
Speaker 1: a few episodes ago, we were sitting in these chairs
Speaker 1: talking about a contract extension for a young Packers wide receiver,
Speaker 1: as Jaden Reid signed a deal that will keep him
Speaker 1: under contract in Green Bay for a few more years.
Speaker 1: And now it was actually during our last episode while
Speaker 1: we were taping it, the news broke and the Packers
Speaker 1: made it official later that day that Christian Watson has
Speaker 1: now been signed to a multi year contract extension to
Speaker 1: keep him in Green Bay for a while. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: on this, I mean, from my perspective, I think we
Speaker 1: were all hoping that this was going to happen, and
Speaker 1: I think the fact that it got taken care of
Speaker 1: in the spring, even before training camp rolls around his
Speaker 1: great news for green Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I mean, what a partnership this has been between
Speaker 2: the Packers and Christian Watson, And certainly go back to
Speaker 2: last year they did come to terms on that extension
Speaker 2: that gave Christian a little bit more security, got a
Speaker 2: little bit more money in his pocket, but also gave
Speaker 2: the Packers this offseason to potentially work out a more
Speaker 2: long term deal. And that's what the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 2: did for Christian Watson. Yeah, everybody talks about the speed, right,
Speaker 2: the size, but for me, it's also the fact that
Speaker 2: he got to be there with Randall Cobb that one
Speaker 2: season in twenty twenty two, his rookie year, and in
Speaker 2: so many ways I felt like that was the continuation
Speaker 2: of that DeVante Adams, Jordan Nelson Cobb era in Green Bay.
Speaker 2: I think when you break it all down, the way
Speaker 2: that Watson fits in this locker room, in his place
Speaker 2: on this team. In addition to everything he does on
Speaker 2: the field, he exemplifies what it is to be a
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packer and more specifically a Packers receiver. I
Speaker 2: just love the way he's embraced this thing and for
Speaker 2: all the adversities had to work through, and certainly a
Speaker 2: big jump going from the FCS level at North Dakota
Speaker 2: State to playing for the Green Bay Packers and making
Speaker 2: that impact right away in year one and showing his skills,
Speaker 2: It's just been an upward climb, and even when he's
Speaker 2: had things that have knocked him back a little bit,
Speaker 2: like the ACL, he came back even stronger. I was
Speaker 2: talking to bow Melt about it last week in the
Speaker 2: locker room before this extension. He said he came back
Speaker 2: faster than he was before the injury. And those are
Speaker 2: the type of things that you not only want to see,
Speaker 2: but you don't always expect. And I mean you and
Speaker 2: I've talked about it for years. I mean, this guy
Speaker 2: is an absolute freaking nature and he's in the cards
Speaker 2: now for the Packers for the long run.
Speaker 1: What you just mentioned that Melton said is what I
Speaker 1: was about to say, is that of all the things
Speaker 1: that I've been impressed with regarding Christian Watson, his athletic ability,
Speaker 1: the way he treats people off the field, the way
Speaker 1: he deals with the media, everything, he's a true pro
Speaker 1: in every sense. But I don't know, it's been a while.
Speaker 1: I guess I would say since I saw a Packers
Speaker 1: player come back from an ACL injury and almost immediately
Speaker 1: the feeling is he's better than he was before. And
Speaker 1: we saw it. You know, the Pittsburgh game was his
Speaker 1: first game back last year. About halfway through the year,
Speaker 1: and as last as the rest of last season unfolded,
Speaker 1: it was it was this is the best version of
Speaker 1: Christian Watson we've seen, which makes me wonder, now that
Speaker 1: he's another year removed from the injury and from the
Speaker 1: rehab and everything, what are we going to see from
Speaker 1: Christian Watson in twenty twenty six. It's a it's really enticing.
Speaker 1: A couple of angles as far as the larger picture
Speaker 1: here one at wide receiver. I mentioned Jaden Reid already,
Speaker 1: Now Christian Watson, Matthew Golden is just in his the
Speaker 1: second year of his rookie contract. The Packers act essentially
Speaker 1: have that top three at wide receiver locked up for
Speaker 1: multiple years. Now, this is the group going forward, right,
Speaker 1: and you cross your fingers. You hope everybody stays healthy.
Speaker 1: You know, Reid had the injuries last year. We know
Speaker 1: about Watson's history, but this is the group the Packers
Speaker 1: are moving forward with. And then from a contract extension perspective,
Speaker 1: you know, looking wider at the roster, you checked off Reid,
Speaker 1: you checked off Watson. Now Tucker Kraft is probably next,
Speaker 1: maybe Devonte Why is in the mix. He's playing on
Speaker 1: the fifth year option this year coming off of that
Speaker 1: really nasty injury from Thanksgiving in Detroit. A lot going
Speaker 1: on here in Green Bay for one off season, but
Speaker 1: setting things up here for multiple years moving forward with
Speaker 1: Jordan Love as your franchise quarterback and leader.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great point you make, too, Mike, Because
Speaker 2: we watched so many guys depart in free agency, right
Speaker 2: we wondered, Okay, who are gonna be the guys that
Speaker 2: in the twenty three class, the guys that are left
Speaker 2: over from the twenty two class, who are the Packers
Speaker 2: going to lock down and keeping their plans long term?
Speaker 2: And it didn't take Brian Goodekunst in that personnel department
Speaker 2: long to show, Okay, Christian Watson is our guy, Jada
Speaker 2: and Read is our guy. And if not for that
Speaker 2: acl last year, Tucker Craft probably already would have had
Speaker 2: an extension just based on the way he plays in
Speaker 2: the position that he's playing. I agree, this guy is
Speaker 2: on the precipice of becoming one of the top tight
Speaker 2: ends in the National Football League, let alone the Green
Speaker 2: Bay Packers roster. So I just think it's an exciting
Speaker 2: time right now for the Packers, and even listening I
Speaker 2: obviously at the time that we're shooting us. We haven't
Speaker 2: talked to Jordan Love yet. He did offer some comments
Speaker 2: at his softball game last week, and I mean, there's
Speaker 2: going to be when you reward a guy like Watson,
Speaker 2: who's not only a reliable receiver, but a guy that
Speaker 2: has stepped up. I mean he is, whether he has
Speaker 2: the Sea on his chest or not, he is one
Speaker 2: of the captains of this football team. He's one of
Speaker 2: the leaders of this locker room. And the way that
Speaker 2: he conducts himself. You want to see those guys get rewarded.
Speaker 2: So I feel like for the Packers, they've had so
Speaker 2: many talented receivers come through here. But you and I
Speaker 2: have wondered this for years. Who is going to be
Speaker 2: the next one to get that extension? DeVante Wyatt? You're
Speaker 2: not Defendive White, but DeVante Adams, I should say. You know,
Speaker 2: when after he got traded, it was this renovation of
Speaker 2: the receiver room, and we've seen guys come and go.
Speaker 2: Alan Lazard, you know, in that conversation Romeo Dobbs signed
Speaker 2: Dantevin Wicks excuse me, ends up getting traded to Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: and the Packers made it known that Jaden Reid, Christian
Speaker 2: Watson in their first round pick from a year ago,
Speaker 2: Matthew gold Then that is going to be the nucleus
Speaker 2: that they build this passing game around. And I have
Speaker 2: to imagine Jordan Love's pretty darn excited about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he has to be. And I think
Speaker 1: the fact that there's going to be at a position
Speaker 1: as as you just mentioned, where there there's been turnover,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, there is constant turnover at the position
Speaker 1: in the NFL, because there is no position that the
Speaker 1: college game cranks out more of than receivers who can
Speaker 1: play at this level. They're all over the place. You
Speaker 1: can restock your wide receiver room in the draft in
Speaker 1: any given year. But the Packers are now in a
Speaker 1: place where they're going to have some stability at that
Speaker 1: position and maybe not so not so much a revolving door.
Speaker 1: And we'll we'll see what that means for Jordan Love
Speaker 1: and the offense. I don't know if you saw what
Speaker 1: I the question that I answered in Monday's Insider Inbox column.
Speaker 1: A reader was asking, where does this Packers trio of Watson, Reed, Golden,
Speaker 1: where does it stack up? And I didn't have time to,
Speaker 1: you know, look at everything across the league, but looking
Speaker 1: specifically at the NFC North. I think it's an interesting
Speaker 1: discussion because the Vikings have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and
Speaker 1: now Juwan Jennings of free agent that they signed the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I'm on Ras Saint Brown, Jamison Williams, Isaac Teslaw,
Speaker 1: all draft picks, all homegrown guys, just like the Packers
Speaker 1: trio right. And then the Bears have Roma Dunze, Luther
Speaker 1: Bird and the third and then they're kind of having
Speaker 1: an open competition for their wide receiver three spot. But again,
Speaker 1: those first two guys for the Bears their own draft picks,
Speaker 1: the homegrown guys. I think it's an interesting I think
Speaker 1: there there's a lot of close calls there in terms of,
Speaker 1: you know, which group in the NFC North is the best.
Speaker 1: What stands out to me the most when I sort
Speaker 1: of put all the names together is that there is
Speaker 1: a ton of really impressive young receiver talent in the
Speaker 1: NFC North, and Justin Jefferson is kind of the old head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now right, I mean he's the best, He's the best
Speaker 1: of the bunch with what he's accomplished, but he's also
Speaker 1: the kind of the grizzly veteran in this division at
Speaker 1: wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as I was kind of reacting a little
Speaker 2: bit to that and about the speed element in the
Speaker 2: inbox that I wrote for Tuesday, it kind of made
Speaker 2: me think a little bit about how, yes, it's very
Speaker 2: impressive right now what's going on in the North, but
Speaker 2: in some ways it's not anything too out of the ordinary, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Packers had a deal for years with
Speaker 2: Megatron in Detroit, right, and then obviously Stefan Diggs and
Speaker 2: the talent and the receivers. Obviously you want to go
Speaker 2: even farther back, Randy Moss, Chris Carter right, the Bears
Speaker 2: have been a little bit more come and go, But
Speaker 2: this is just something that despite being the Black and
Speaker 2: Blue division, they've had elite receivers for a long time.
Speaker 2: When you compare these receiving cores, though, and if you
Speaker 2: want to do by extension the quarterback situation, I think
Speaker 2: it really is what I feel the most complete are
Speaker 2: Detroit in Green Bay, and that probably goes back to
Speaker 2: being heavily drafted and developed. Minnesota is following that path,
Speaker 2: but you know, there's some questions there with Addison and
Speaker 2: some off the field things that have kind of stymied
Speaker 2: his momentum a little bit. And the fact that they
Speaker 2: ran into the quarterback issues they had last season and
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson how that affected him. Detroit has a little
Speaker 2: bit more known commodities. You know, when you look at
Speaker 2: aman Ross Saint Brown now as an All Pro Pro
Speaker 2: Bowl player every single year, you know what you're getting
Speaker 2: with him. I was extremely impressed with Tesla last year.
Speaker 2: He made some big time catches, including against the Packers
Speaker 2: in a couple games. I think he's a guy that
Speaker 2: really compliments that room really well. They felt confident enough
Speaker 2: about him as that third option. Khalif Raymond I think
Speaker 2: departed this year in free agency. They're going to build
Speaker 2: around that nucleus now with Jared Goff. But for the Packers,
Speaker 2: when you finally boiled down and kind of distill all
Speaker 2: these receivers, all these options what they've had sort of
Speaker 2: developed and uncovered during the Jordan Love era, now you
Speaker 2: have a very defined number three, top three receivers, and
Speaker 2: then also save On Williams who can handle the ball
Speaker 2: the backfield. Bo Melton back in the receiving room this
Speaker 2: season gives you an option as that guy who can
Speaker 2: spell both Golden and Christian Watson to keep the downfield
Speaker 2: plays in the playbook. I just I like the upside
Speaker 2: of Green Bay's room right now and with the runway clear.
Speaker 2: We've talked about it all off season, just how far
Speaker 2: can Matthew Golden take this thing? When people ask us
Speaker 2: all the time, what are your first impressions, what are
Speaker 2: your early thoughts on training care, on OTAs and who's
Speaker 2: impressed you? Well, we only see one practice a week.
Speaker 2: This week we'll see a little bit more with mini camp. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but Matthew Golden is catching passes. The Packers are drawing
Speaker 2: things up for Matthew Golden, and that is what excites
Speaker 2: me because he can take a top off the defense,
Speaker 2: he can run a crossing route and burn a cornerback.
Speaker 2: There's so many different ways that he can affect the
Speaker 2: football game, and now he has the reps to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I had a story last week on Packers
Speaker 1: dot Com. Folks can go check it out if they
Speaker 1: want to. It was after it was posted, I believe,
Speaker 1: on Wednesday morning. After we had the open practice on
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Golden talked about how you know, he is
Speaker 1: not to say he bulked up in some huge way,
Speaker 1: but he put some weight on. He felt that his
Speaker 1: size and not you know, kind of having a little
Speaker 1: bit of extra bulk on his body contributed to some
Speaker 1: of the injury issues that he had last year, that
Speaker 1: that slowed him down, that he wasn't playing at full strength,
Speaker 1: or games that he had to miss, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: as you said, what we've seen on the practice field,
Speaker 1: we see the ball going his way on a fairly
Speaker 1: regular basis in eleven on eleven and and I think,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned in an answer to an Insider inbox
Speaker 1: question last week, even though he just got a contract extension,
Speaker 1: like you know, a few weeks ago, Jaden Reid is
Speaker 1: kind of the guy everybody's sleeping on because because he
Speaker 1: missed such a huge chunk of the season last year.
Speaker 1: He scores a touchdown in the season opener, he gets
Speaker 1: injured in week two, he misses like three months, and
Speaker 1: then he comes back and he's scoring a touchdown in
Speaker 1: the playoff game, you know, against the Bears down in Chicago.
Speaker 1: But everybody you know, forgets in some ways just how
Speaker 1: good Jaden Reid was his first two years when eight
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards back to back years in a pretty
Speaker 1: deep receiver room. He was the leading receiver on this
Speaker 1: team his first two seasons in the NFL. So it's
Speaker 1: it's an exciting group. It's what you envision, right when
Speaker 1: you spend in consecutive years, or I guess I would
Speaker 1: say three out of four years, you spend a second
Speaker 1: round pick, a second round pick, and a first round
Speaker 1: pick at wide receiver, and now here are those guys.
Speaker 1: Two of them have now signed their second contracts. The
Speaker 1: first round pick is on his rookie contract, You have
Speaker 1: that fifth year option with him down the road, and
Speaker 1: you're moving forward with that bunch. This is exactly what
Speaker 1: you envision if players develop the way you hope they're
Speaker 1: going to develop. And that's what's happening in Green Bay.
Speaker 2: And the thing that'll be cool too, Mike, we're seeing
Speaker 2: a little bit in these practices that that the guys
Speaker 2: were going to step up to take those five six
Speaker 2: spots on this roster too. Right when you you look at,
Speaker 2: you know, the undrafted rookie. They brought Instra Divian out
Speaker 2: of Florida, and in his upside, will Shepherd's back from
Speaker 2: the practice squad. Isaiah Naor is a guy I wrote
Speaker 2: about an insider inbox. I mean structurally, he's built the
Speaker 2: same way as Christian Watson and runs in the same vicinity.
Speaker 1: Of when he walked on the practice He was a
Speaker 1: late arrival last year. When he walked on the practice
Speaker 1: field last summer, and you started seeing him running routes,
Speaker 1: you know, with the threes and whatnot, you were it's
Speaker 1: sort of like, oh, like, I can see why they
Speaker 1: brought this guy in as sort of as sort of
Speaker 1: like a flyer, right like where you're you're taking a
Speaker 1: chance to see what somebody's got. The physical tools that
Speaker 1: Isaiah Nayer has they definitely catch.
Speaker 2: The eye and then that goes to tight end then
Speaker 2: and running back in these various positions that the Packers have.
Speaker 2: I mean, you it's just it's so difficult. There was
Speaker 2: times in the middle of that run with Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: you know, he wins the second MVP where it was okay,
Speaker 2: it was so clear that who the top three were,
Speaker 2: but you didn't really know who four was. You didn't
Speaker 2: know who that next guy up was going to be.
Speaker 2: The packers have intriguing options in that area too, and
Speaker 2: certainly the tight end position is completely different than it
Speaker 2: was a decade ago with a guy like Tucker Kraft
Speaker 2: leading the charge. So if they get healthy, if they
Speaker 2: can keep guys on the field, it's just those three building.
Speaker 2: Looking specifically at receiver, those three being able to build
Speaker 2: together and grow together being as young as they are,
Speaker 2: that's sure is enticing for the future. This Packer's passing game.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I want to ask you a couple questions regarding
Speaker 1: Mini camp that we're about to head out to the
Speaker 1: practice field to start watching, but we do need to
Speaker 1: pay some bills, so let's first hear a quick word
Speaker 1: from our sponsor, Serious XM. NFL Radio delivers hard hitting
Speaker 1: analysis and up to the minute NFL news that true
Speaker 1: football fanatics need. Twenty four to seven, three sixty five.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. All right, Wes. This week
Speaker 1: is sort of the not officially but unofficially the end
Speaker 1: of the offseason program. With the three mini camp Tuesday
Speaker 1: to Thursday. It'll be the last few days of media
Speaker 1: access here before everything kind of goes dark until the
Speaker 1: start of training camp. So we'll be heading out to
Speaker 1: the practice field shortly to catch practice number one of
Speaker 1: Mini camp. Just anything that I guess rises to the
Speaker 1: top of your list as far as what you're watching
Speaker 1: for here in these last couple of days of the offseason.
Speaker 2: Per I'm gonna probably be keeping my eyes pretty close
Speaker 2: on the edge rushers. You were a part of that
Speaker 2: conversation last week with Michael Parsons and him addressing kind
Speaker 2: of where he's at in his rehab process and again
Speaker 2: a mature approach that he's taking to this thing. It's
Speaker 2: going to be, you know, still four months. He's at
Speaker 2: the five month mark. He's got to get to nine
Speaker 2: as far as the return to play aspect of it.
Speaker 2: So we know pretty well that the Packers are going
Speaker 2: to need to find pass rushers to get them through
Speaker 2: the month of September to get to get that initial
Speaker 2: push of the season. And you know, he talked about
Speaker 2: Lucas Vans and the steps he expects him to make
Speaker 2: and the growth that he's shown. And I mean, when
Speaker 2: you look at the makeup and the prototype for an
Speaker 2: NFL pass rusher, Lucas Fans is that poster child. He
Speaker 2: has everything you want to see and now he has
Speaker 2: a few years under his belt. I think is still
Speaker 2: only twenty four years old. I mean, he's now much
Speaker 2: like Matthew Golden on the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: I think there's nothing but aaron opportunity out there for
Speaker 2: him and seeing how that's going to go. And we've
Speaker 2: talked about it at various points of this offseason too.
Speaker 2: But I mean physically, Baron Surrell is just so impressive
Speaker 2: with what he's done to build his body. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is an incredibly young man that came in last
Speaker 2: year just trying to find his way, you know, tread
Speaker 2: some water and then you know, had some success at
Speaker 2: the end of last season. Well now he looks like
Speaker 2: a full grown man and adding him into the equation
Speaker 2: with Brenton Cox, you know, and hopefully the Packers can
Speaker 2: get Colin Oliver back on the field here because you
Speaker 2: see the dimension he can add to this pass rush too.
Speaker 2: That's going to be the main task. It's on both
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gannon, It's on the personnel department, it's on the
Speaker 2: players themselves. You need to show that you can survive
Speaker 2: without Micah Parsons here, and the Packers a lot of
Speaker 2: young men with the upside to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was asked a question in Insider Inbox about you know,
Speaker 1: looking at players when they come back after the off season,
Speaker 1: and you know, what do you notice physically? And I said,
Speaker 1: you know, the first guys I always look at are
Speaker 1: the draft picks from the previous year, right, because now
Speaker 1: this is their first full off season as NFL players.
Speaker 1: And the two guys physically that I noticed, you know,
Speaker 1: looked a little bit different than what we saw last year,
Speaker 1: were Matthew Golden and Baron Surrell. You can tell that
Speaker 1: they've they've put in the time with their bodies. It's
Speaker 1: made a difference. They physically have taken another step. So
Speaker 1: then how does that translate to the field now in
Speaker 1: year two? I think another thing we'll be looking for.
Speaker 1: And again this comes with that caveat of during the
Speaker 1: two weeks of OTAs, the Packers had three or four
Speaker 1: practices a week, and we were only watching one practice, right,
Speaker 1: But in the two practices we saw we saw Trey
Speaker 1: Smack have a pretty good day and we saw him
Speaker 1: have a rough day out there when it got pretty
Speaker 1: windy at Nichkie Field last week. So now that we're
Speaker 1: going to have multiple practices in a row here to watch,
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do with the kicking periods and
Speaker 1: and and how smack does there. I'm sure that's that's
Speaker 1: something that's going to be followed. And then for me,
Speaker 1: it's also just wanting to get kind of that last
Speaker 1: glance at the depth chart before you know, we take
Speaker 1: that break, you know, the long break before training camp,
Speaker 1: because we've talked on this show about the guy the
Speaker 1: the rookie draft picks that we've seen getting rotated in
Speaker 1: and getting reps with the ones. You know, we've seen
Speaker 1: Brandon Cisa and Chris McClellan and Jagger Burton last week
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Do they hold Are they holding
Speaker 1: those spots now through mini camp? Are they still going
Speaker 1: to be rotating in with the ones? Is anybody else
Speaker 1: you know, getting into that rotation when the first units
Speaker 1: are out on the field. It's it's that as I say,
Speaker 1: that last glance at where the depth chart is right
Speaker 1: now as the off season program ends, and those are
Speaker 1: the mental notes that you make for when the guys
Speaker 1: come back for the start of training.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in a stude observation and it is like this,
Speaker 2: I guess you'd almost call it like an elongated trial run, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's being able to show that, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to get some reps because there's some other
Speaker 2: veterans here at these positions that aren't available right now
Speaker 2: for one reason or another. So what do you do
Speaker 2: with them? What is that first impression that you make
Speaker 2: off of those snaps? And I think cs is a
Speaker 2: really interesting one because by all accounts, you would think
Speaker 2: Benzaman Saint Juice, the free agent they signed, he'll be
Speaker 2: a part of that conversation in that rotation, but he's
Speaker 2: not available right now. So when Keyshawn Nixon was coming off,
Speaker 2: it is CISA going in there and having to show, Okay,
Speaker 2: I can run with these guys. Same thing with McClellan.
Speaker 2: You know, when you don't have DeVante Wyatt, that's the
Speaker 2: biggest piece of your defensive front, the interior defensive front,
Speaker 2: for sure. You have to have guys that are going
Speaker 2: to step up and maximize those those opportunities. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be really an intriguing thing to be able
Speaker 2: to follow and see, Okay, when we get to training camp,
Speaker 2: who are going to be those first guys out of
Speaker 2: the gate, who are gonna be the guys that are
Speaker 2: the packers are going to look to you know, get
Speaker 2: going both on offense and defense and start to build
Speaker 2: their rotations around because, yeah, with the way this thing
Speaker 2: is structured and there's there's not enough time everyone talks
Speaker 2: about it, you only have so many snaps, right to
Speaker 2: be able to head into training camp and sort of
Speaker 2: hit the ground running. I mean that's imperative. And when
Speaker 2: you look at the guys historically who have claimed spots
Speaker 2: as rookies, that's what they did. It wasn't just the
Speaker 2: fact that, Okay, at the end of camp they look good.
Speaker 2: It's at the beginning they're pushing, they're finding opportunities, and
Speaker 2: then when they get in the preseason games and some
Speaker 2: of those bigger moments showing that it's not too big
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the old adage of force your way on
Speaker 1: the field, right and make yourself kind of so the
Speaker 1: coaches can't ignore you. They've got to put you in
Speaker 1: there and give you those chances.
Speaker 2: And that can happen in any round, right Carrington Valentine
Speaker 2: did it as a seventh round pick, no doubt, you know,
Speaker 2: like it's it can be anyone from anywhere in any round,
Speaker 2: depending on the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Well we got practice to get we do,
Speaker 1: so we're going to call it a rap on this
Speaker 1: edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all of
Speaker 1: our coverage of Mini Camp all week long. We'll have
Speaker 1: all sorts of stories, yeos, everything else for you on
Speaker 1: packers dot com for Wesiamake. Thank you for tuning in
Speaker 1: everybody you will, so thanks.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm
