Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Do you remember when the Green Bay Packers were 3-6 midway through the 2023 NFL season and fans started thinking ahead to the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft?

Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Keisean Nixon, who left Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a stinger, was upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Tuesday was just a walkthrough, and since the Packers didn’t practice on Monday, both listings are estimates. It seems highly unlikely that Green Bay will host a […]

Today is the 325th day since Christian Watson tore his ACL. I’ll be the first to admit I was among the doubters. Seeing Watson crumpled on the Lambeau Field turf, I thought the great experiment was at an end. Watson, the small-school prospect on whom the Packers had spent two second round picks, had been […]

Emanuel Wilson is one of the best stories to emerge from the Packers’ Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. His unexpected 107-yard outburst is the Packers’ highest rushing total of the season, and it caps off a long road to something resembling stardom for Wilson. Once a small school star, Wilson was the man […]

In this space, we take a look at the Green Bay Packers’ passing game, be it ever so humble. The Packers came into this game with Jordan Love banged up, and there seemed to be a strong desire to get him out of this game, taking a minimal amount of hits. At least, that was […]

After scoring a TD to take a 7-3 lead on their opening drive, the Green Bay Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to a punt. And what a punt it was: Ryan Wright hit a beautiful coffin corner punt that shot sideways out of bounds at the 2-yard line. That set the Packers up in […]

I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out on top. Basically all season, and as recently as last week, I wrote that the Green Bay Packers need to lean harder into Jordan Love and a very efficient passing game if they’re going to be a threat in the NFC this year. And yet, […]

Prior to the Green Bay Packers losing tight end Tucker Kraft with an ACL tear, the team had never dabbled in six-offensive line sets, which are mostly ways to get an extra blocker on the field for the running game. Starting in Week 10, though, the week after Kraft’s injury, the team started sprinkling in […]
