Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
At different points in his college career, Green Bay Packers rookie fifth-round pick Collin Oliver was either a true edge rusher or an off-ball linebacker. Oliver, who injured his hamstring before training camp, has been missing from the practice field since the mid-summer, so fans haven’t gotten much of an opportunity to figure out how […]

The fourth-year defensive tackle has played 379 snaps on defense this season, contributing 27 total tackles, two pass breakups, and four sacks.

There are two certainties in an NFL season. The first is that attrition will take its toll at some point. No team makes it through a year unscathed. Sooner or later, someone, very likely more than one someone, will go down. It’s a fact of life. People get hurt playing professional football. The second is […]

The Green Bay Packers worked out six players on Tuesday, their off day this week, following three moves on their practice squad. The Packers have an open roster spot on their 17-man practice squad right now, but the assumption I’m working with is that the team will attempt to re-sign receiver Will Sheppard, who the […]

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers announced that receiver Will Sheppard would be waived from the 53-man roster.

They made […]

It may be stupid that the Packers are just now playing the Bears for the first time this season, but at least the game is going to matter. I’m firmly of the opinion that things are better when Packers/Bears games matter, and for too long, they haven’t. The Bears are the Packers’ oldest rival, and […]
