GREEN BAY, Wis. — This week, in the Packers’ first practice of what they hope will be a redemptive season, there was this fan-pleasing moment: Rookie receiver Trevor Davis took off from the left flank toward the sideline, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw one high and hard. Davis leaped high and caught it one-handed, then sprawled near the sideline. The first day of training camp here is only slightly gigantic. The crowd exploded in cheers.
Davis got up, pretty happy with himself. You could see he was jacked about it, returning to the offensive side of the ball.
