Packers say they can’t use their youth as an excuse anymore

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Over the last couple of seasons, the Green Bay Packers have produced the two youngest playoff teams of the past four-and-a-half decades.

They believe they’re now experienced enough to take the next step as they chase the franchise’s first Super Bowl berth since the 2010 championship season.

“We’re not a young team no more,” three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark said Thursday after the Packers’ second training camp workout. “We can’t use that excuse. We’ve got to get after it.”

Clark’s point is debatable, because Green Bay still has plenty of youth.
