Training camp is officially here for the Green Bay Packers, as the team begins its quest for Super Bowl LI in earnest today. The players officially report to Lambeau Field for the first time today and will take the field on Tuesday for their first practice of the 2016 season.
What better way is there to mark this occasion, then, than by recapping our roster projections? Here at Acme Packing Company, we ran down the predictions throughout the past two weeks and closed with our practice squad projection earlier this morning. Without further ado, here is Acme Packing Company's pre-training camp roster prediction. Be sure to file this one away and return to it on September 3rd, when all is revealed and it is made clear how horribly inaccurate our predictions are.
