Kevin King was the top pick in the Packers’ 2017 draft class. After trading out of the bottom of round one, King was the first pick of the second round. He took part in Rookie Orientation with the rest of the draft class; however, due to an NFL rule, King was held out of…… MORE
Today is the beginning of minicamp for the Green Bay Packers. We already know that veterans with at least five years of NFL experience are excused — just like last year. We also know that their top pick — cornerback Kevin King — is now allowed to join the team after missing OTAs because of…… MORE
The Green Bay Packers kick off their 2017 “mandatory” minicamp on Tuesday at Clarke Hinkle Field. They’re set to practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with all three practices being open to the public.(And the media.) But as it turns out — much like last year — the minicamp won’t be mandatory for the veterans. Head…… MORE
The Packers used their first draft pick on Washington cornerback Kevin King, but an NFL rule has prevented the rookie from joining the team. (Until now.) Because of the class schedule at the University of Washington, King was unable to participate at OTAs with his new employer. Last year’s first-round pick, Kenny Clark, went through…… MORE
Packers tight end Martellus Bennett is headed back to Boston … to get his Super Bowl ring. Tonight, the Patriots will receive their Super Bowl LI rings. For Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, this makes a handful. (That’s five, for those of you scoring at home.) Marty B — the Packers new tight end —…… MORE
Packers running back Ty Montgomery is, in fact, a running back. (And he’s also sticking with No. 88, in case you’ve been living under a rock.)

The Packers held their final open organized team activity (OTA) today at Clarke Hinkle Field. Veteran cornerback Davon House was there, but not without some travel issues. Last night in Minnesota, House tweeted that he was having trouble finding a car to get from Minnesota to Green Bay. But as we all know, Packers fans are loyal. And…… MORE
The Milwaukee Brewers host the San Francisco Giants tonight at Miller Park. It should be an interesting matchup between two of baseball’s surprise teams: the Brewers have surpassed expectations and sit atop the NL Central, while the Giants have fallen flat and are looking up at the rest of the NL West. Away from the…… MORE
The Green Bay Packers used safety Morgan Burnett as a linebacker on passing downs last season. Last month, they drafted Josh Jones to do the same thing. Jones has a similar skill set to Burnett, although Jones is even bigger and faster. What does that mean for Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez and the “traditional”…… MORE
Undrafted rookie Justin Vogel signed with the Packers because he saw an opportunity. Now in early June, he’s the only punter on the Packers’ roster, after the team cut ties with Jake Schum. “There’s only 32 spots in the world at my position,” Vogel said Thursday in the locker room. “There’s no backups being…… MORE
