There was a different vibe
and sound to practice number six at the Green Bay Packers training camp.
Both were provided by shoulder pads as the team put on the gear for the first time this summer. You could feel an uptick in the energy and there were long awaited football drills taking place, like the always interesting one on one pass rushing drill between offensive and defensive linemen.
Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins, now learning the left tackle spot in David Bakhtiari’s absence got in three straight reps with Preston Smith. Each more spririted than the next. Rookie center Josh Myers got an education from Kenny Clark who flattened him to the ground just after he snapped the ball and Billy Turner got reacquainted with Rashan Gary by giving him a fist jam under the chin the that eventually dislodged Gary’s hat right off. Ah, football.
