Football season is here!
Well, kinda. Sorta. Not really. But still, the Packers now have a full roster and the team is taking the practice field for the first formal time today! Well, it's not the whole team, just the rookies.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that the Packers' rookie camp starts today and goes through the weekend, and the coaching staff will get its first look at its new charges - all 22 of them. In the meantime, enjoy today's curds as we get you ready for more news about the rookies yet to come later today.

This is fascinating - Jordan and Justin McCray were Blake Bortles' left and right guard at UCF and have played together since high school. They're separated by 1/4-inch of height, 1 pound, and 1/8-inch in hand length. But now Jordan is a Packer and Justin is a Tennessee Titan.
