The Green Bay Packers have no shortage of young talent on their roster. Good draft picks over the past few years have led to a solid influx of talent, and a pair of players whose talent has been displayed in spurts are third-year corner Casey Hayward and rookie wideout Davante Adams.
Both of those players are highlighted in articles in today's cheese curds, as they each are looking to make the most of their opportunities. Though Hayward has had more chances to make big plays, Adams is working on his game to ensure that he's ready when his number is indeed called.
As the team prepares for the Vikings this Sunday, let's take a look at these young guys as they continue to expand their roles.

Packers fans in general probably aren't sorry to see it go, especially fans who remember the house of horrors that it became in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Leaked Catalog Hints at New Alternate Jerseys for NFL Teams | Uni Watch
One of the teams whose alternate jerseys do not appear in the catalog are our Green Bay Packers. Perhaps the Acme jerseys are going away? My hope is still that they keep the jerseys as they are and find a way to use brown leather-like decals on the helmets.
