Sunday was a good day for the Green Bay Packers’ rookie class. The Packers beat the Los Angeles Rams 20-3, but they did so thanks in large part to big games from a handful of rookie players.
In particular, a pair of seventh-round picks in the defensive backfield were thrust into action, and the two rookies came through with flying colors. Carrington Valentine had a great game, which goes down in the box score as his fourth career start. He was the closest defender on seven Rams passes and none of them were completed, thanks to three pass breakups by the rookie, and he also drew an offensive pass interference penalty that he on Puka Nacua while making a few nice plays in run support as well.
