    How it happened: Paul Hornung's 33 points

    Resuming a series that began last summer, packers.com is taking a look back at some of the team's single-game records and how the individual set the mark. The series continues with Paul Hornung's 33 points on Oct. 8, 1961. GREEN BAY – The only thing he didn't do was score on defense. But if...

    Inbox: The possibilities seem endless

    Will from Stewartville, MN With the talk of a traveling combine and the current traveling draft, what do you think the chances are of a non-NFL city hosting something such as St. Louis, Memphis, Portland, etc.? Maybe down the road, but I would imagine the NFL is going to give its league...

    Inbox: Opportunity abounds there

    John from Livermore, CA In your opinion, who do you think is poised to have that "breakout" year? If 6½ sacks last year (including playoffs) doesn't count as a breakout, then my answer is Rashan Gary. Otherwise, it's an easy call to say AJ Dillon. Jeff from Woodridge, IL I read that the...

    Billy Turner's versatility will again be vital for Packers' new-look O-line

    On the outside, it might seem like a quantum shift considering how veteran-laden the Packers were on the O-line when Turner arrived as an unrestricted free agent in March 2019, but so far it's been business as usual for the versatile veteran. "To be completely honest with you, nothing has...

    Inbox: It just shows how serious he is about taking another step

    Sal from Hailey, ID Good morning, Wes. I'm glad we have Nathaniel Hackett on our team. Are non-head coaches under contract for a period of time or just employed at will and able to walk if they are offered a job elsewhere? Most NFL assistants work on one- or two-year contracts, which...

    Inbox: That's the kind of moment

    Rob from Louisville, CO Regarding what Bakhtiari said about the wear and tear of playing 17 games, it seems like the O-line never gets to rest, even in blowouts. Obviously, it's a big risk putting someone else in the game, but you have to consider the risk of wearing out your starter as well...

    Inbox: They're the glue binding the book together

    Brett from Green Bay, WI You guys brought up on "Packers Unscripted" a few weeks ago that aside from the coordinator, the entire defensive staff is returning from 2020. Obviously, that's not something that happens often in the NFL. Because of this, do you think it will take less time from the...

    Had Vince Lombardi stayed, history might have been rewritten

    Karl from Fond du Lac, WI Fan since the mid-1970s. Always been fascinated with Packers history, including the Lombardi era. One question I always think about: If after 1967, Lombardi continues coaching in Green Bay, how would the 1968 to 1970 teams have done? I know they had some age. But the...

    Inbox: Perseverance never goes out of style

    Al from Green Bay, WI At the risk of coming off as a "name dropper" I will tell you I had a conversation with David Bakhtiari yesterday, and I asked his thoughts on the expanded 17-game season. He spoke at length about the toll a 16-game (plus playoffs) season imparts on a player's body. He...

    Packers rookie WR Amari Rodgers eager to follow Davante Adams' lead

    Rodgers received a brief introduction to what it's like to share a position room with Adams during the team's mandatory three-day minicamp – and a small preview of the knowledge the rookie hopes to draw from later this summer. "It was amazing, being able to pick his brain a little bit and add...

    The Green Bay Packers, Essity and Green Bay Packaging Inc., recognized another successful year of the "First Downs for Trees" program Tuesday by planting a Green Mountain Sugar Maple in Titletown's public park area. Essity and Green Bay Packaging, Inc., the program's corporate partners, once...

    Inbox: It's an experience business

    Stan from (I'm not publishing this fake town in), FL Nice try, Ted from Kiewicz, NV. I thought it sounded strange, so I googled it. Can't find any town or village in Nevada with that name listed. Wes/Mike: Do you guys check out locations where question-askers are from, before publishing their...

    Size, experience make De'Vondre Campbell good fit for Packers' defense

    Over that time, the 6-foot-4, 232-pound linebacker would amass 462 tackles (25 for a loss), 7½ sacks and three interceptions. He led the Falcons with 129 tackles in 2019 before signing with Arizona as an unrestricted free agent last March. A rangy athlete with some coverage chops, Campbell...

    Inbox: That was the hope when they were selected

    Jordan from Virginia Beach, VA Do you think the timing of Aaron Rodgers' potential return could have any effect on who plays center? It will obviously be someone different from last year and, as a former center, I know the exchange is something that is practiced quite a bit. Could someone...

    Packers CB Jaire Alexander primed to follow up All-Pro season

    Yet, the 5-foot-10, 196-pound cornerback saved his best for last when he picked off Tom Brady twice in last January's NFC Championship Game. "I thought he had a great last game," said defensive backs coach Jerry Gray of Alexander. "The biggest thing that he has to do is – No. 1, I will look...

    Inbox: There will be more than enough reps to go around

    Eric from Green Bay, WI In response to Sandra from Menominee Falls: It's concerning to me that people don't know the differences between reporting, reacting, and commenting. I think this leads into Spoff's notion of not clicking on the reactor's links. I stood on a soapbox about this for...

    Inbox: It's natural to hope he finally gets his breakthrough

    Dean from Leavenworth, IN Read the NFL's updated COVID-19 protocols for training camp (and I assume the season) and I can't see how any player could justify not getting vaccinated. Not sure what percentage of the Packers' roster has been vaccinated at this point but I'm anticipating 100% by...

    Inbox: This is a time for growth

    Derek from Eau Claire, WI You get to distribute 300 points (Madden Style) to a QB across these four categories: Arm strength, accuracy, speed, awareness. How do you divvy them up? Hmm…I'd say 83 accuracy, 82 awareness, 80 arm strength and 50 speed. Arm strength is fun, but it's only as good...

    How good were the secondaries of the 1970s and '80s Packers?

    Tim from Charlotte, NC From 1972-80, the defensive backfield had some consistency with Willie Buchanon, Al Matthews, Jim Hill and Ken Ellis succeeded by Johnnie Gray, Mike C. McCoy, Steve Luke and Estus Hood. My question is this: I know Buchanon and Gray enjoyed very good careers, but were any...
