Will Ka’Dar Hollman make the team?
He’s on the right track. With Kevin King sitting out of the final team period on Wednesday, Hollman played outside cornerback with the No. 1 defense. He plays the position the way it should be played – fast, tough and physical.

Do you feel there is any truth to the often-heard sentiment that Aaron Rodgers' competitive nature is additionally motivated by "playing with a chip on his shoulder" resulting from comments/observations generated in discussions of NFL matters?
It was definitely true...
Bob Jeter started opposite one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history for four years and yet wasn’t completely overshadowed or markedly outplayed by him. That alone is an impressive testament to Jeter’s physical ability. He and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Herb Adderley started together...

He’ll get another one next week with Houston receiver DeAndre Hopkins in town for two days of practice. The defense as a whole, which Rodgers has noted repeatedly has a “juice” to it he hasn’t seen in a while, may start to see its leaders step to the forefront more with a fresh opponent on the...
