Packers receiver Darrius Shepherd finding his way after last season's demotion

GREEN BAY — Aaron Rodgers is always watching. And Darrius Shepherd knows.

When you’re on the practice field with him and the rest of the starters. When you’re out there running with the scout team. When he’s watching film of practice. When you’re in meetings. When you’re in the locker room interacting with your Green Bay Packers teammates.

And when it comes to Shepherd, a second-year wide receiver, Rodgers has been particularly impressed with what he’s seen — especially after what Shepherd endured last season, when he made the 53-man roster coming out of training camp but was demoted to the practice squad after eight games.
