Please, please, please tell me Kylin Hill from all word is healthy and ready to hit the ground running as our returner again in 2022?
He looked good walking into the building on Monday. So, that’s a good sign. We’ll learn more in the weeks ahead.
I know Aaron Rodgers has expressed appreciation for learning from an HOF predecessor, but has he ever said he’d trade for one or two more years as a starter if he could, or would it offset the lessons?
I think it worked out the way it should. Rodgers probably would’ve been fine if he’d started in 2006 or ’07, but it’s impossible to find the true line of demarcation in Rodgers’ development. The main thing is he was ready when his time finally came – and the Packers knew it.

OK, instead of a pre-draft question, I’ve got a post-draft question. After the fat lady sings, have you ever been able to see the Packers’ draft board? And, if not, were you ever able to talk to anyone in the room about how it shook out vis a vis plan and execution?

The performance is based on things like starts, stats, team performance, awards, etc. When a player graduates, he/she gets their options. If they leave school early (via transfer or leaving for the draft), the player loses the options. This…
