Packers might lose this breakout rookie if they try to stash him

The preseason is more about evaluation than results, but for the players, it is about much more. The Green Bay Packers have a decision to make with undrafted rookie running back Amar Johnson.

While the Packers have three-time Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs entrenched as the starting running back -- and Emanuel Wilson likely solidified as his backup -- Johnson made a strong case to make the final 53-man roster during the preseason.

His performance stood out enough to earn him a spot on CBS Sports' All-Preseason Team.
