Happy Wednesday morning to all of you Packers fans out there! I'm back for today's curds, which feature more of ESPN's silly "future" rankings, but this time they focus on individual positions. We also have a great film study on one of the Packers' primary defensive formations and look at two different ways to handle adversity: one is to persevere through it with class, and the other is to destroy your cell phone and home security system. On to the links!

There's no way to avoid rooting for this guy. I really hope Peña has a great training camp and makes the roster - or at least the practice squad. On a wholly unrelated note, I also want the Gilbert Burger to come back.

Aaron Hernandez taken into police custody Wednesday morning - SBNation.com
This whole thing just keeps getting more and more absurd, but we now know that Hernandez has actually been arrested (and he answers the door shirtless, no less).
Denard Robinson given new Jaguars position - Big Cat Country
Apparently "Offensive Weapon" is now a thing. I wonder if the NFL will set numbering rules for this newfangled position.
