The NFL changed its rules concerning its popular training camp and in-season show.
The Packers have never appeared on the NFL’s “Hard Knocks,” the documentary-style show following teams through training camp (and, recently, in-season) via rare, behind-the-scenes access.
That could be changing thanks to new rules from the NFL expanding the pool of potential teams that could be covered on the show.
Previously, teams that had made the playoffs at least once in the previous two seasons were not eligible for the show, but according to Albert Breer, that stipulation has been eliminated under new, “liberalized” rules for “Hard Knocks.”...
If his knee checks out, Revel feels like just the kind of prospect that the Packers would love on day two of the draft.
One of the hot names in the 2025 NFL Draft class over the past few days has been cornerback Shavon Revel. The East Carolina University product has been building some steam as a potential fit for the Green Bay Packers of late, and now we’re beginning to learn more about his story and his football journey.
Like many football players, Revel started from humble beginnings. Revel went the junior college route before he got to ECU,...
The Green Bay Packers visitor is coming off of an ACL tear
A player who did not take the easy path to the 2025 NFL Draft is East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. As a high school prep, Division I programs cooled off on him due to both academic qualifying issues and a collarbone injury, leading to him beginning his college football career at Louisburg College, a private two-year college in his home state of North Carolina.
Hoping to get out of the 380-student school with his effort on the field, Revel’s 2020 freshman season was canceled due to the...
Green Bay takes WR Jayden Higgins in the second round our of 3.0 mock
While our Mock 3.0 started similarly to 1.0 and 2.0, with the Green Bay Packers selecting Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in the first round, the Acme Packing Company voters took the second-round pick in a different direction this time around. The blowout winner in the voting was Iowa State receiver Jayden Higgins, who fits the Packers like a glove.
Earlier this offseason, we wrote a full scouting report on Higgins, who is both the size that Matt LaFleur demands from his receivers and has the...
Gutekunst has shown greater ability evaluating pros than college players. Just get the pros.
Brian Gutekunst is working through his eighth offseason of team building. While the Green Bay Packers have remained successful, some trends are emerging. Among these is how well Gutekunst has been at adding key free agents in the offseason. The inverse of that is how poor he has been at adding talent through the second day of the NFL Draft.
My proposal is simple: Trade the mid-round draft picks for talent. I would go so far as to say the first round should not be out...
Despite adding some big free agents this offseason, the Packers remain on track to be among lowest-spending teams in the NFL.
As the end of the Aaron Rodgers era approached, the Green Bay Packers spent heavily in the late 2010s, presumably in the hopes of securing another Super Bowl championship and hoisting one more Lombardi before Father Time caught up to Rodgers.
While Green Bay comes in slightly higher than league average for spending on player salaries since the adoption of the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, over the past five league years the team clocks in at below league average....
The Packers head coach had a lot to say this week.
This season, Matt LaFleur will tie Mike Holmgren as the fourth longest-tenured coach in Packers history. The only three ahead of him still occupy significant portions of real estate in Green Bay: Curly Lambeau, Vince Lombardi, and Mike McCarthy all made their marks on the Packers in indelible ways.
Holmgren, of course, left Green Bay after his seventh season, but there’s no indication LaFleur will make a similar exit. That will leave him in the unenviable position of being the longest-tenured Packers coach not to win a title.
LaFleur’s...
Here’s your opportunity to talk about the prospect you like the most
Now that it’s officially April, let’s talk about prospects who you’re big fans of. I haven’t gone through the entire class by any means, but here are a couple of guys who stand out to me.
I know that Cam Ward is the Hurricane stealing the show this offseason, but Damien Martinez is a good all-around back. He played in very different systems over his college career, primarily running outside zone for Oregon State in an under center system before transferring to...
For the third time, Green Bay goes Derrick Harmon in the first round
Folks, we’ve done it. We’ve found our Cooper DeJean of this draft class. We have pinned down the draft crush of Green Bay Packers fans.
For the third straight mock draft, our readership has given the Packers Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in the first round. With Marshall defensive end Mike Green on the board, I thought there was a good chance that Green Bay would pick up an edge rusher for the first time in our mock draft series, but the voters had other plans.
As...
The Packers’ proposal did have substantial support, but it will not go receive a vote at the annual meeting this week.
On Tuesday, the NFL voted on several of the new rules proposals for the 2025 season, approving several tweaks to the existing playing rules for the upcoming year. The league’s owners voted to expand the replay assist program and to adjust the rules governing overtime and the new kickoff, and those changes will go into place for at least the coming season.
However, the Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the pushing of a ballcarrier from behind — outlawing...
The Packers biggest positions of need still need addressing.
The Packers entered free agency needing help at edge rusher, on the defensive line, and at wide receiver.
The Packers exited free agency needing help at edge rusher, on the defensive line, and at wide receiver, depending on how much help you think Mecole Hardman will bring to the wide receiver room.
Even if you’re a fan of the Aaron Banks and Nate Hobbs signings, it’s hard to argue the Packers are stronger at their positions of need than they were a month ago. This puts them in the unenviable position...
Today we look at some simple yet effective passing concepts the Packers relied on for big plays in 2024.
The Green Bay Packers relied on a simple yet effective passing design in 2024: their deep dig/deep out passing concept. The concept was called only a handful of times, but it created explosive pass plays for the offense in high leverage situations. The play was either run from under center with play action and mirrored receiver formations or was run out of shotgun on third downs and no play action.
I can’t find the install non-play action play art so here...
