GREEN BAY, Wis. – After it was over, a stunning end to this Green Bay Packers season and maybe their golden era, a rookie receiver asked the veteran quarterback to make good on a promise.
When the Packers left Detroit earlier this season, Aaron Rodgers promised Lions first-round pick Jameson Williams a game-worn jersey. Williams approached to claim his award after the Packers season ended with a 20-16 loss, but it wasn’t happening this night. Under a Packers stocking cap, Rodgers smiled, pointed to his chest and informed Williams this No. 12 jersey wasn’t leaving his shoulders.
