Welcome to another Monday in the NFL offseason program. This week marks the second set of Organized Team Activities for the Green Bay Packers, which will kick off on Tuesday with an open practice.
In the meantime, we're still digesting quotes and information from last Thursday's open practice and from the players' media availability afterwards. Many of the players' quotes are featured in pieces in today's curds, so start clicking and reading up on what they're up to.
Also, former Packers assistant coach Andy Reid has a rather unique way to motivate his players. Knowing Reid, I'm going to guess that there's bacon involved, too.
