Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , 8/6: Kramer’s great HOF speech & winners from Family Night The big winner this weekend as far as the Green Bay Packers
were concerned was of course Jerry Kramer. The legendary guard finally got his
bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after a wait of more than four decades. By
all accounts, Kramer’s speech was an all-time great, which should come as no
surprise to anyone who is familiar with him, his interviews, or his
personality.Meanwhile, the current Green Bay Packers were practicing at Lambeau
Field in front of over 60,000 fans, and they got some great performances from a
few young players under the lights. In today’s curds we’ll look at a few of
those impressive moments, which should have Packers fans salivating over the
potential of the defensive line even more.Sure, the starting trio of Mike
Daniels, Kenny Clark, and Muhammad Wilkerson looks to be an elite group.

Packers pulled back the curtain on their new defensive personnel in training
camp over the past month, and in doing so one player earned more time in the
spotlight than any other. That is cornerback and second-round draft pick Josh
Jackson
Womens Za'Darius Smith Jersey , who picked up in Green Bay right where he left off in Iowa City last fall: making life hell for opposing
quarterbacks.Jackson intercepted two passes in the preseason, taking them both
back for touchdowns. Yes, one was erased by a penalty, but we’ll overlook that
in favor of Jackson’s exceptional play. Not only that, but he allowed a perfect
0.0 passer rating into his coverage, according to Pro Football Focus, with just
two receptions for 14 yards on nine targets.Those numbers were not only good
enough to earn Jackson a nod on PFF’s All-Preseason Rookie team, they got him on
the All-Preseason team regardless of experience level. And here’s what might be
the craziest part: Jackson isn’t even projected to be one of the team’s starters
in week one.Adding to the attention Jackson is receiving from national media was
a shout-out from NFL writer Peter King, who predicted this week that Jackson
will end up being the league’s defensive rookie of the year: “I don’t think
he’ll start on fire, but as the season wears on, he’s going to be the most
reliable cornerback on a strong playoff contender. He never was the fastest
cornerback at Iowa, but he was smart and instinctive
Bart Starr Jersey , and he’ll be among the league leaders in interceptions.”As of about three weeks ago, Jackson had the 12th-best odds of winning DROY,
according to one online sportsbook that had him at 20:1. Following a trio of
impressive performances to close out the preseason, those odds might just be
dropping.As an added bonus, the Packers got a second player on PFF’s rookie
All-Preseason team. Safety Raven Greene earned a spot on the 53-man roster with
a very good performance in the exhibition games, and he landed the last spot on
PFF’s squad as their “defensive flex” player. From PFF: “The 5-foot-11,
197-pound James Madison product recorded 13 tackles, seven defensive stops and
one forced fumble this preseason. He also allowed just three receptions on five
targets for 18 yards.”
