Christian Ringo, Captain of the Scout Team

I don't actually think he affects the Raji situation because he is not a nose, but he lets Guion play either nose of the 5 tech.

Ringo's unofficial captaincy was earned as much for his leadership off the field as it was for his work ethic on it. When Daniel signed to the practice squad in early September, one week after being released by the Oakland Raiders, it was Ringo who eased the transition by ushering him into the 10-man brotherhood Ringo said he viewed as a team within the team.

New to Green Bay and disillusioned by an unexpected release, Daniel received a wealth of information from Ringo about which details the coaches prioritize — the do's and don'ts of the Packers.

"That is a good guy, man," Daniel said. "If you want a friend in life outside of football, I really think Christian Ringo is a good guy. He looks out for people....He's a great guy off the field."

That was a nice story.

I was impressed with the pay raise the Packers asked Christian Ringo to consider before moving his talent to another organization and the real possibility or assurance of being on that teams 53 man Roster.

Ringo, of course, decided to remain with the Packers. He gladly accepted a boost in base salary from $6,600 per week to $25,588 per week –beginning on Nov. 13 – and felt a bit of reassurance that the franchise believes he will prove himself in the near future.

I'm hoping that part I highlighted in Green is the real reason we're now aware of DLman Christian Ringo's importance for the Packers 'D' and hopefully soon we'll see this young man producing in the regular season games in the 2016-17 Season!

Thanks pbmax.

GO PACK GO !

Ringo was a Mike Daniels clone coming out of college. Daniels has been able to put on almost 20 pounds since his Combine while maintaining his quickness. Ringo has gone from 293 to 300 so far. Would be nice to see him get up into that 310 range like Daniels if he can do it without slowing down.

With a last name like Ringo..... Christian has to be a Green Bay Packer for some time !

As always, it will come down to "but can he play?"

True. And I know we have seen this story before and it could be as unreliable as the second year jump during offseason workouts. We'll see.

I think reports of a rookie improving in practice as the season progresses are a little more significant than a guy who looks good in the weight room in April. Josh Boyd was a guy who struggled in his rookie preseason, but improved in practice as the season wore on. He was activated late when injuries hit and then had a pretty good 2nd year.

If Ringo becomes a contributor, the 2015 draft class could be a stellar one for the defense, and one of the best overall under Thompson when you include Montgomery, Ripkowski and Hundley.
