GREEN BAY, Wis. – It sounds like Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams have been paying attention. They must have noticed what their new coach, Matt LaFleur, has said about the running game, and how their new offensive leaders, LaFleur and coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, have called plays with their previous teams.
For it was how the Green Bay Packers’ top returning running backs looked when they came back for the start of the offseason program that confirmed it.
And quarterback Aaron Rodgers noticed it immediately.
Rodgers ID’d them as among the players who looked much improved in the physical department since he last saw his teammates more than three months ago.
