Green and Bold: Don't Sleep on John Crockett

The Packers will undoubtedly be playing a numbers game with their 53-man roster; subtracting a player at one position means another position gets the depth it may need.

In terms of the running back position, it's a given that the team will keep at least halfbacks Eddie Lacy and James Starks and fullback Aaron Ripkowski on the final roster...but what about second-year player John Crockett?

Anyone who has followed me on Twitter since last offseason knows that I'm high on Crockett. I thought the team made a mistake in sending him to the practice squad at the end of the 2015 offseason, and was excited when it promoted him to the active roster in December 2015.
