Coach Mike McCarthy can’t help but be impressed with how the rookies are playing and the perfect mix of the young players along with the veterans. In all the years that he has worked as a coach, he emphasized that this is one of the more improved integration of the youngsters into a professional football team.

Datone Jones has impressed everyone right at the defensive end while Johnathan Franklin and Eddie Lacy have pushed the entire competition as running back. The young receivers like Myles White were successful in grabbing passes and even learning fast from the veteran players.
