Veteran Leadership Key for Team’s Irregular Offseason Schedule

Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, Davante Adams, David Bakhtiari, Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Christian Kirksey, Adrian Amos, and Mason Crosby all share one similarity (besides currently playing for the Green Bay Packers) – they all are some of the most experienced players on the team and are integral to the success of the younger members of the roster.

And with how the current NFL offseason has been progressing in a virtual fashion, these veterans are going to be even more important to helping the incoming rookies and younger players with their development.

For Rodgers, he is going to be looked at as a mentor for the team’s first-round pick this year, Utah State QB Jordan Love, and while in-person offseason activities will eventually happen, the hardest part for a rookie of any position is to be able to learn the playbook.
