    My two favorites in this category are probably Perry and Sherrod, followed by Richardson, whom I'd forgotten originally, and Davante Adams. I just think that guy's gonna be a stud.

        And Colt. Forgot about him, but I am rooting for him.
        No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

          Lacy, Hayward, HHCD, Shields and Sherrod.

          I even bought my first Packer jersey as an adult, #27.
          But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                Datone and HaHa because I campaigned for them to be drafted;

                Mulumba for no apparent reason;

                Tolzien and Abbrederis - Go Badgers!

                Quarless - he's more of a "normal" kind of TE, which I like.

                Tramon - gotta love a great cover corner - hopefully he still is.

                Aaron Rodgers (and Brett Favre) - when all is said and done, quite possibly the two greatest QBs - make that PLAYERS - in the history of the NFL - and WE had the pleasure of rooting for them for a generation or more now.
                What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                  -Casey Hayward and Shaun Richardson (I have Vandy ties and saw a couple of their games in person)
                  -Micah Hyde and Mike Daniels (I was born in WI, but was moved to Iowa by the time I started following football...go Hawks) I hope Tanner Miller makes it, Woody, but it's a real long shot.
                  -Derek Sherrod...how it must gnaw at him to have gone through so much to even get a shot at the pros and to have gotten injured like he did just stinks. I hope he wins the Mike Flanagan award; another former Packer who had a gnarly leg injury before he came back and made it on the Packers. I just used two words that start with gn in the same post (gnaw and gnarly...beat that

                    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                        Nick Perry..........high upside if he has the skillset in this defense
                        Colt Lyerla.........incredibly talented dude
                        Devanta Adams....another guy with huge upsidezzz
                        Abbrederis...........surrounded by Badger detractors I want to see this guy overachieve as he always has

                        And Chris Borland.....because I've always bought into his film as opposed to him measurable and want to be right.....lol

                        Unlike most, I'd like to move on and let Fluffy find another home
                        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                          Couple ILB's, Jamari Lattimore and Sam Barrington. Both guys got a bit of hype, flashed a bit and got hurt. I'd like to see 'em both blossom but I'll take one fully coming into his own.

                          Also Andy Lumumba, OLB. He showed me a lot hobbling around on one leg when he should have been on the pine, but we were out of backers.

                          C'mon boys, flash and play like hell for the GG.

                            Sherrod is where my list begins and ends. Its not senseless, its because LT is so damn important and he has all the physical tools necessary.

                            I think he is the opposite of Bacteria. Bak battles, gets beat slowly, rarely blown up. Fundamentally pretty sound, but not big nor strong enough to play LT in the NFL. Sherrod has the skill set to engulf and make guys disappear, but he is still a bit raw in his technique. Messing with him at Guard and the right side was flat out stupid. He quacks like a fucking LT, don't make him bark. He likely will whiff in ways Bak rarely did, but he has the physique and tools to dominate. They need to get him the reps, watch him fail (and he will at times) and see if it pisses him off enough to become dominant like he can be.

                            When they gave ARod the job I said that I would cringe when he holds the ball too long because all first year starting QB's do. I also said it was the only way to find out if he could become a good QB. Same goes for Sherrod now. He needs to play, play often, fail at times in order for us to see if he can become an NFL LT. He is the only guy on the roster who can be a legitimate 10 year LT in the NFL, might as well give him a chance.

                              Torkelson? TORKELSON?

                              That guy owes me money!
                              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                                Lyerla - would be good to see him turn himself around
