Kenny Clark has become a fan favorite in Green Bay during his time with the Packers. Green Bay selected Clark with the 27th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. In 2020, Clark signed a four-year $70 million deal with the Green Bay Packers. That deal will keep him in Green Bay through the 2024 season.
Flash forward to 2022, and he started in every one of the 17 games he played. The two-time Pro Bowler earned 53 total tackles, 27 solo tackles, 10 quarterback hits, five tackles for loss and one forced fumble last season. In early March, the Packers restructured the defensive lineman's contract. According to Field Yates of ESPN, that restructure created a little over $11 million in salary cap space.
Recently, Kenny Clark made appearances at local schools in the state of Wisconsin that left a lasting impact.
Kenny Clark Partnered With the Indian-Head Community Outreach Group To Tour Local Schools in Wisconsin
Kenny Clark, along with Mark Mayfield, surprised four middle schools and high schools in one day in Northwest Wisconsin. Those schools included Abbotsford, Medford, Flambeau and Ladysmith.
"I received a warm welcome and introduction at each school," Mark Mayfield said. "Little did the students know that an All-Pro nose tackle from the Green Bay Packers was going to join me for a short discussion."
"It was a special experience," Mayfield said. "At each location, I would read off Kenny’s bio, highlighting where he’s from, where he went to school and being a two-time, All-Pro, with the transition into a lightning round with questions about his favorite food, vacation, destinations, other sports he played at high school, funniest, teammate music and the actual phone call on Draft day when he was elected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round."
Additional things that were discussed were Kenny Clark's nutrition and off-field exercises. In recent years it has changed in some ways that started to include pilates and yoga.
"We would then finish our time with the students with a question-and-answer session," Mayfield said. "Students could ask questions about his teammates, goals, mentors, and his future. One of my favorite things about this community outreach program was Kenny answered it all for schools, saying 'I just want to be the best me that I can be.'"

Jamaal Williams has officially joined the New Orleans Saints after spending the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions. Williams agreed to a three-year, $12-million deal, with $8.15 million guaranteed, keeping him in "The Big Easy" until 2026.
2022 was a career year for Williams, leading the NFL in rushing TDs (17) and contributing to the Lions' first winning season since 2017.
Williams doesn't bring just his hard running style to the Saints. He is a huge source of energy and a tremendous leader. He is already showcasing his personality to the Saints fans.
One of a Kind Personality
Jamaal Williams has become a fan favorite for all NFL fans. A big reason why is his infectious personality brings every day. During his introductory press conference with the Saints, he kept things light and barely talked about football. He was just having fun talking about pop culture, beignets and how excited he was.
Williams is clearly ecstatic to be in New Orleans. Saints fans will get plenty more of these all-time quotes during Jamaal Williams' time with the team, just as Packers and Lions fans did.
What To Expect From Jamaal Williams in 2023
In his six NFL seasons, Williams has rushed for 3,652 yards, 30 touchdowns and 216 first downs. In his first full season of being the lead back in 2022, he had his first 1,000-yard season.
The Saints rushed 27.4 times per game last season but focused more on the run game down the stretch. That number could increase with Williams sharing the backfield with Alvin Kamara, an elite pass-catcher. Derek Carr, also applauded for his leadership during his time as a Raider, will be under the center for the Saints this season. Though the NFL schedule has yet to be released, the Saints will likely kick off their 2023 season on Sunday, Sept. 10.
Mayfield Sports has had the pleasure of booking Jamaal Williams since his Packers days and looks forward to continuing to work together in New Orleans.

The Green Bay Packers have not been too active in free agency. However, they prioritized bringing back one of their 2022 standouts; All-Pro kick returner and cornerback Keisean Nixon.
Nixon's new contract is a one-year/$4 million deal. The deal has four void years meaning that while he will be paid past 2023, he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2024. It has been a long time since Green Bay has had an electric kick returner, so if Nixon has another All-Pro caliber season, he may be brought back again on a more long-term basis.
Keisean Nixon's NFL Career
2022 was Nixon's first season with the Green Bay Packers. He spent the last three seasons with the Raiders in both Oakland and Las Vegas. He played 692 snaps on special teams in three seasons with the Raiders. When Rich Bisaccia was hired as the special team coordinator Keisean Nixon signed with the Packers. Although he did not start the year off as the team's primary kick returner, he never looked back after getting the job.
Nixon became the full-time kick returner in Week 8 and made an instant impact. Despite not getting the job until halfway through the year, he finished the season with 1,009 kick return yards, leading the NFL. As a Packer, Nixon also made an impact on defense. Injuries in the secondary led to more playing time at cornerback, and Nixon filled in well. He started four games and recorded one interception, two passes defended, 28 tackles, and one tackle for a loss.
Keisean Nixon: The Future of the Packers' Special Teams
With news that team veterans Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, and Allen Lazard could all be out the door and heading to New York, Green Bay is going through a transitioning period. Nixon will join the likes of RBs AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, plus WR Christian Watson, as some of the only proven play-makers on the Packers.
With Bisaccia still running the special teams, it'll be in his and Nixon's hands to set up new Packers starting QB Jordan Love with good field position. Expect another difference-making big season from Keisean Nixon in Green Bay!

Allen Lazard, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver, has found himself a new home. After playing the first five seasons of his career for the Green Bay Packers, Lazard decided to test free agency. As it turns out, the Allen Lazard contract was one of the highest-paying among 2023 NFL free agents.
Allen Lazard Inks New Contract With the New York Jets
Jordan Schultz reports that Lazard has agreed to a four-year deal worth $44M and $22M of that guaranteed with the New York Jets. Lazard leaves Green Bay after four seasons and is now taking the next step in his career.
The 27-year-old Lazard caught 169 passes for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns in his five seasons with the Packers. Lazard got better as the years went on and had a career season in 2022 as a go-to target for Aaron Rodgers in the Packers' offense.
Allen Lazard is known for doing the dirty work on the field consistently. He has become one of the best blocking wide receivers in the NFL. Lazard has been seen consistently blocking his defender 10-15 yards past the line of scrimmage. The NFL certainly recognized his game and paid him accordingly.
New Allen Lazard Contract Followed By Commitment from Aaron Rodgers
The Allen Lazard contract is not the only exciting news for the New York Jets franchise and its fans. On the March 15 edition of the "Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers confirmed that he intends to play for the New York Jets in 2023.
The future Hall-of-Famer, spoke glowingly about Lazard during the interview, sharing his appreciation for the receiver's work ethic and leadership in the locker room.
This pending reunion with Rodgers also comes with regrouping with the former Packers offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett. In 2021, under the direction of Hackett in the gold zone, Lazard posted a career-high eight TDs on just 60 targets.
The new Allen Lazard contract has the veteran joining a talented receiver room led by Garrett Wilson, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year. Expect a big season from the Lazard-Rodgers connection and many memorable moments along the way in 2023.

When the Packers drafted Rashan Gary, he was sitting behind Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith on the depth chart. However, he has quickly become one of the best defensive players on the team and is on his way to becoming one of the best defenders in the NFL. The Rashan Gary stats are just one reflection of the work he puts in during the offseason, constantly training and running drills to perfect his craft.
Background
Rashan Gary was born on Dec. 3, 1997, in Plainfield, N.J. He went to high school at Scotch Plains-Fanwood but transferred to Paramus Catholic. Gary was a multi-sport athlete at Paramus Catholic, playing basketball and football. He became a five-star recruit for football over the course of his high school career. Not only was he a five-star, but he was also the No. 1 ranked player in the country for his high school class. Gary went on to play football at the University of Michigan.
Rashan Gary Stats & College Career At Michigan
Rashan went to college with the weight of expectations on him. But those expectations are what come with being the No. 1 player in the country coming out of high school. Gary played three seasons at the University of Michigan under Jim Harbaugh.
His stats included:
- 34 games
- 119 tackles
- 23.0 tackles for a loss
- 9.5 sacks
- 1 forced fumble
Gary's stats do not reflect the impact he had on the field. After his junior year, he decided to enter the NFL draft. Early mock drafts had Gary getting drafted as high as the top five picks.
Rashan Gary Stats & Packers Career (So Far)
The Packers missed the playoffs in 2018, so they were in fairly unfamiliar territory drafting at number 12. However, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the former Wolverine. At the time of the pick, many were unsure how Gary would fit into the puzzle that was the Packers' defense. The team had just dished out large contracts to free-agent pass rushers Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith. Gary, at first, became a rotational piece on the Packers' defense.
However, in 2020 Gary started four games due to injuries. Gary recorded 5.0 sacks in 2020. In 2021 Za'Darius Smith missed the entire regular season with an injury which made Gary a full-time starter. 2021 ended up being his best season as a pro and was good enough for the Packers to be comfortable with moving on from Za'Darius Smith.
Rashan Gary Stats (2021)
- 9.5 sacks
- 47 tackles
- 8 tackles for a loss
- 28 quarterback hits
- 2 forced fumbles
Gary began 2022 as a starter and was off to a phenomenal start. In just nine games, he had 6.0 sacks and was on pace to set a career-high in sacks, tackles, tackles for a loss, and quarterback hits. Unfortunately, Gary tore his ACL against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. The Packers missed his presence greatly for the rest of the season. Gary will look to bounce back in 2023 and have his best season as a pro.

Professional athletes and coaches make some of the best motivators for company employees. Running a great company requires having great employees. Knowing how to motivate employees to do the job, and do it correctly, is a direct responsibility of the managers and owners of that company.
Here is why bringing in professional athletes and coaches to talk to your employees could make a drastic difference in what you see in return from your employees.
Perseverance
Coaches and athletes are ingrained with determination to achieve their goals. Taking those traits from the field to the boardroom makes any goal attainable your company may have as a result. In the workplace, the best employees subsequently never give up and always find a way to overcome obstacles. Failing will be a part of any corporation or business. Dealing with loss is something coaches, and athletes overcome every single season. When they struggle with performance, athletes will dedicate extra time to practice until they improve. Learning this trait can be how to motivate employees to prevent the same mistake from ever happening twice.
Knowing How To Motivate Employees to Put the Team First
Any corporation or business needs employees to have a "team first" mentality. A team-first mentality is about looking at your employees and viewing them as living, breathing organisms. An organism can live in a healthy manner if each of its organs is functioning and contributing to its overall health.
Coaches and athletes certainly understand that team goals always trump individual needs. Being part of a team means a serious commitment to the group. Personal sacrifices come with the territory. For athletes, that may mean giving up weekends for practice or maintaining a strict training diet. Applying that same mentality to the workplace establishes a commitment to achieving goals. Rewarding employees who carry these traits with more pay or time off (when able) will go a long way in answering the question, "how to motivate employees."
Handling Criticism
Becoming coachable consequently lets you take an objective look at your strengths and weaknesses in all areas of your life. Athletes and coaches have taken constructive criticism (and sometimes not so constructive) throughout their careers. Explaining to your employees that this type of criticism is in an attempt to better themselves, not degrade them, is vital to long-term success. Managers who know they can provide direct and honest feedback to their employees without worrying about hurting feelings, or losing productivity for the day, allow for quick solutions to problems that may arise as a result.
Start taking the first step in answering "how to motivate employees" by booking a professional athlete or coach to speak to your staff today with the help of Mayfield Sports Marketing.

How did a Psychology degree from Indiana University turn into a successful sports marketing agency? Mark Mayfield is the President of Mayfield Sports, but that was not always the plan.
Mark was the Director of Sales and Marketing at a resort in Wisconsin when he found out Gilbert Brown was coming in to stay at the resort. Being a sports fan, Mark took the opportunity to eat breakfast with Gilbert.
"We had breakfast several days in a row while he was staying at the resort each morning," Mayfield said. "At the end of his stay, I told him I'm really good at sales and marketing, and he replied and said he needed a website."
Brown was retired and needed a site to help with event bookings and signings. Mark built the site and was returning calls during his breaks and lunch hour at his day job at the resort. He then used his vacation days to do events with Brown in Green Bay. They also started going to Packers home games to attend autograph events.
For six years, Mayfield worked at the resort while also managing Browns' bookings and marketing. During that time, he was also introduced to several of Browns' teammates like: HOF LeRoy Butler, Santana Dotson, Dorsey Levens and William Henderson to name a few. Since then, Mayfield Sports has experienced tremendous growth with current roster NFL players, NFL Hall of Fame players, NBA, MLB and NHL bookings. Needless to say it has given Mark Mayfield once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
What do you attribute your success thus far? Mayfield replied, "Building relationships not only with the athlete but also other agencies, agents and business partners is very important. All the details and work in advance builds seem less events and success. It is also very important to have a great team around you. I am fortunate to have several people around me that possess a different expertise than I do but all attribute to the success of the team."
"I've had the luxury of doing some pretty cool stuff, Mayfield said. " The first time that I went to Lambeau Field, Gilbert invited me to go, and he introduced me to seven or eight guys from the Super Bowl 31 team. That was eye-opening and humbling."
During the last several years I asked about Mayfield's journey. "I've had the luxury of meeting players and athletes that you would never dream of meeting during my travels. I've met Kareem, Dr. J, Reggie Jackson, Giannis, Joe Namath, Jim Brown, Ray Lewis, Charles Woodson, and Carl Lewis to a name just a few. Travels include: Super Bowls, Pro Football of Fame, Indy 500, NFL games home/away, college championships, PGA events, Ryder Cups and numerous autograph conventions across the country. I am very very lucky as a sports fan." Mayfield said.
What's Next for Mark Mayfield & Mayfield Sports
Mayfield said In the last six months, he's had the opportunity to change the dynamic of the agency. At the core, Mayfield Sports is a sports marketing booking agency. He said he wants to take the portfolio of clients he has and push out of his comfort zone. He wants to be able to use the network he has built to take calls and find athletes for events for those who are looking. MSM specializes in athlete appearances, endorsements, social media activation and autograph events. Mayfield has also added consulting to his toolbox and looks forward to building that part of the business as well.
Mayfield Sports started as Packers legends agency in Wisconsin. "I am very thankful for Gilbert Brown as a good friend and my first client!" Mark Mayfield has built a network that will play a great role in even more growth of the agency in the near future across the country.
From eating breakfast with Gilbert Brown to running a successful sports marketing agency, Mark Mayfield has come a long way. He takes nothing for granted and earns it every day as he looks to take his business to even greater heights.

Perhaps you're a Packers fan looking for something to do before football comes back, or maybe you're new to the area and want to dive in head first to Wisconsin customs; festivals are a great activity for all.

Upcoming Notable Wisconsin Festivals:
Winter in Whitney | Feb. 25
Coming up right around the corner is Winter in Whitney, held in downtown Green Bay. Winter in Whitney is a great event with plenty of things to do in Whitney Park. The park transforms into a winter wonderland full of activities for everyone. Horse-drawn wagon rides, s'mores, and dancing are just the beginning of a long list of great things this festival offers.
Strawberry Fest | June 24-25
The summertime is host to plenty of fun outdoor festivals throughout the state. One popular festival is Strawberry Fest in Cedarburg, Wisc. People can enjoy everything strawberry, from strawberry shortcakes to strawberry wine. The event features artists from all over Wisconsin. Food and shopping paired with a variety of activities, make this one of the premier festivals of the year. Here at Mayfield Sports Marketing, we are proud to have booked Packers legend Jerry Kramer to attend the event in the past.
Iola Car Show | July 6-8
Looking ahead, the Iola Car Show is one of the more popular festivals of the year. Subsequently, this year's rendition will be the 51st Annual Iola Car Show. Guests and vintage cars headline this show. It's no surprise that Packers legend and Wisconsin resident Gilbert Brown was booked to attend in previous years.
