Indicative of the way the Packers do business, a GBPG article called five of the class "redshirts," and suggested this year MM wants to see some of them break out. And not in a rash.

I found illuminating this quote on Kyri Thornton, contrasting him to Abbrederis:

'"I think Thornton has really turned the corner in the weight and conditioning part of it," he said. "And Jared is here every day. So, he just has to get stronger, a little bigger. Everybody felt great about the way he showed in spring and the training camp he was having. So, yeah, definitely. It won't be lack of work ethic, that's for sure.​"'

Turned the corner? In other words, he got his head out of his ass.

Nobody's talked much about Mike Pennel, but I wonder if he has an opportunity to start in GB, and if his potential will influence a decision about whether to bring back Guion or Raji or both.
