I remember being an unranked, unwanted, undersized high school kid. I let this keep me motivated everyday! First camp practice! #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/lbZQKEP2hD

Rookie Josh Jones just dropped a ball during a drill. Immediately hit the ground for push-ups. #packers

P Justin Vogel showing why he's the only punter in camp. Boomed four of five punts with hang time well past 4.0. Averaged 44.2 yards.

CB LaDarius Gunter beat deep again. Adams stays balanced and fights for Rodgers' pass. Gunter failed to make a play on the ball.

#Packers rook Josh Jones playing nickel LB, pushing Morgan Burnett to safety. Wonder if we'll see more of that than Burnett at LB.

Devante Mays has another gear. Just ran away from a guy who looked to have the angle.

Another one to add to the list:
Aaron Nagler:
During a passing drill, Malachi Dupre makes an outstanding adjustment to a 30 yard rainbow from Rodgers that drifted inside.
I can't wait to see these rookies in the preseason.

Thank you for the tweets. It's exciting to have training camp upon us. Can't wait to see some live game action, even if it's just preseason games. Here's to a mild injury 2017 campaign!!

I'd rather have Gunter as our #3 on the outside.

You mean 3rd string or 3rd CB behind King & House? I'd keep him as 3rd deep, but preferably not at all.

The latter. But not thrilled he's even in the conversation as a starter.
Happy to be pleasantly surprised.

It's early...

It's not too early to know Gunter sucks and isn't starting caliber DB, let alone NFL caliber. Maybe arena league, but probably too slow for that too.

I cannot understand what the Packer coaches see in Gunther. I know it's early but I hope we end up starting House and King. I would rather try to win with King than lose with Gunther. If we as fans know that Gunther cannot cover NFL receivers why don't our coaches know this? If Gunter who was our #5 corner last season is allowed to start why are we signing House and drafting King with our first pick? This whole scenario makes no sense to me. We'll see what develops over the next 5-6 weeks. Thanks, Since '61

I'm not thrilled that he is on the team at all. Thanks, Since '61

I've wondered if Gunter makes the team.....

Remember Clay's rookie year? He was a reserve until about week 2 when the stubbornness wore off and reality of his talent became clear in Mashed Potato Mike's head and Clay got on the field, that and a hamstring issue...
I anticipate this happening with King as well.
Is every single 1st round pick that Tinkering Ted picks not ready to play right away??? Must be the case because I can't recall any high draft pick actually starting for the Pack outside of #5 overall Hawk and undrafted Shields at CB due depth issues. Perry? Nope. Datone? Nope. Clark? Nope. Randall? Nope.
Why should I think King will be a starter until depth forces the issue? They have their system in place and why would incredible talent, size, and speed be something to change that stubborn approach to rookies : /

I hope not but you're probably right. Dreading that with all the rookies that make the team. Play them see what they got. Baptism by fire.

Looks like I'm not right this time which is great! King is running with the 1's this morning rather than Gunter. Didn't take very long for Tater to debunk that theory! Mashed Potato Mike scheming again!

#Packers CB LaDarius Gunter having rough start to camp. Struggled yesterday, just gave up TD from Brett Hundley to Trevor Davis in 2 minute.
Shocking I say - shocking!

I hope this Pipkins guy replaces Gunter. After just two practices it sounds like Gunter has been toast all day both days while Pipkins has been solid. now with Waters hurt Pip's got a shot!

Mayes has another gear. Great to hear.

It's quite clear, that his other gear, will be one to fear, for the opposition this year.

All I want to know is whether TT is out there wearing his cool Roy Rogers cowboy hat that he got at the Brown County Fair for $4.00. C'mon man! You're a millionaire, spring for a real Stetson!
