Brett Hundley made a name for himself this preseason after he was selected by the Green Bay Packers during the 5^th round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

The rookie quarterback from UCLA had the second most leading passing yards, throwing a total of 630 passing yards during the preseason and completing 45 out of 65 attempted passes. He also had seven touchdowns, more than any other QB in the league during the preseason.

After tackling his first preseason as a Green Bay Packer, Hundley is now heading up to the Upper Peninsula to help tackle hunger.

On Tuesday, October 27, Mayfield Sports Marketing and Brett Hundley made their way up to Elmer's County Market in Escanaba, MI, where Hundley would be signing autographs for the price of only a food donation to go towards a great cause.

Escanaba Public Safety and the Green Bay Packers joined forces and put on a food drive to help support the community foundation’s “Feed the Kids” backpack program.

There are five schools that participate in the backpack program and who will be receiving the donations of food. The donations will then get passed on to needy and underprivileged youth, to help carry them through weekends and extended breaks from school, when they may not be getting fed as much as they do on a school day.

The food drive at the county market was held from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., with Hundley making his appearance at 6 p.m. and staying until 7:30 p.m.

With the help of Escanaba Public Safety, the Green Bay Packers, Elmer's County Market, Brett Hundley, and a very special thanks to Detective Tony LaPant, the food drive was a huge success, and far exceeded last year's event. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this event possible!

Demarious Randall

Play of Packers' young cornerbacks helps ease concerns

Mark Hoffman

Damarious Randall made an interception of Aaron Rodgers that had the Packers quarterback fuming.

But then the reigning MVP broke into an angry jog, careened 20 yards downfield and unleashed a hailstorm of profanity upon the poor official who pulled his arms to his chest to signal rookie cornerback Damarious Randall had, in fact, completed the catch. This was no longer a ho-hum interception.

Rather, the play by Randall, whom the Green Bay Packers drafted in the first round in April, typified a hellacious beginning to training camp in which cornerbacks across the board played bullishly aggressive football. Pass deflections soared as physicality spiked, and through five days of training camp Aaron Rodgers had already thrown four interceptions in 11-on-11 action.

"I think you've seen as you watched practice a lot of contested balls out there," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "We've had some outstanding plays where guys have come down with the football, yet there's a lot of plays where we've had broken up passes. Guys have been close, I think, in coverage."

Apprehension about the cornerback position percolated during the offseason when both Tramon Williams, a starter on the outside, and Davon House, who was often used in dime packages, departed via free agency. Left on the roster were Sam Shields, Casey Hayward, Micah Hyde, Demetri Goodson and plenty of valid questions.

The Packers responded by using their first two draft picks on defensive backs: Randall in the first round, Quinten Rollins in the second.

"We've got some young guys that we're trying to get as many reps as we can," Capers said. "I think they're competing well."

The positive early returns continue to soothe concerns about what was considered the weakest portion of a defense that brings back nine starters. A sextet of players — Shields, Hayward, Hyde, Randall, Rollins and undrafted free agent LaDarius Gunter — have separated themselves from the pack.

Shields, 27, is firmly entrenched atop the depth chart and anchors the group from his familiar position on the outside. He is joined on the flanks by Hayward, 25, who is moving to the perimeter after playing most of his career in the slot.

The transition requires Hayward to rewire his thought process, according to cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr., though he fails to understand why that has invited questions about Hayward's ability to play the position. Slot corners, Whitt said, bear similar responsibilities to linebackers in terms of understanding gap fits, making assertive play calls and moving instinctively. While outside corners need only answer two simple questions: Can I listen to the call from the safeties? Can I cover this guy?

Whitt and the Packers believe Hayward can do both. His string of pass breakups, including a tipped ball intercepted by safety Morgan Burnett, could be premature signs that they are right.

"I have no issue with Casey playing outside at all," Whitt said.

Added Burnett: "Casey is a football player. He's going to compete wherever you put him. Inside or outside he's going to make plays."

What the franchise may not have believed is that a pair of rookies would also contribute on the outside, which is exactly what Randall and Gunter have done through the first five practices. Rollins, the Packers' second-round pick from Miami (Ohio), began training camp on the non-football injury list after suffering a pulled hamstring over the summer. He returned to practice earlier this week.

Although he played safety at Arizona State, Randall adapted quickly to the position change during OTAs and gave the secondary a jolt of athleticism. He adjusted so well to the outside position that coaches are trusting him to play opposite Shields in dime packages, allowing Hayward and Hyde to man the slots.

Randall's profanity-inducing interception of Rodgers, hauled in after blanketing Davante Adams in the end zone, remains one of the highlights of training camp.

"We're expecting him to make those plays that he made against Aaron," Whitt said. "When you're drafted (in the first round), you're supposed to make those type of plays."

Which is to say someone like Gunter, an undrafted free agent from Miami, is not supposed to make those plays, especially against a quarterback with Rodgers' pedigree. Yet there he was on the first day of training camp, leaping to intercept a pass down the left sideline intended for receiver Jared Abbrederis.

Gunter's interception was the first in a handful of impressive moments for a player whose size (6-foot-2, 201 pounds) is ideal but whose speed coming out of college (4.69 seconds in the 40-yard dash) was not. Instead, Gunter relies on his long arms and excellent hand placement to win plays at the line of scrimmage, according to Whitt. His forceful play has received praise from receivers Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery.

Gunter, Whitt said, knows the difference between attacking the shoulders when jamming a receiver (incorrect) and targeting the breastplate (correct) to increase his margin for error. If he aims for the shoulder and misses, his palm grabs nothing but air. If he aims for the breastplate and fires wide, he still connects with the shoulder.

"It might sound simple," said Whitt, demonstrating on a reporter, "but a lot of people can't do it."

Attached to the strong performances, though, is an important asterisk that will not be lifted until the exhibition games are underway. A few blown coverages or missed assignments with actual scoreboard repercussions could permanently erase memories of training camp interceptions.

But until then, until Aug. 13 when the Packers travel to Massachusetts for a game against New England, the cornerbacks remain a pleasant surprise.

"We're going to have to see these guys play a lot in the preseason," Capers said. "But they're competing and making plays on the practice field."

Packer back Lacy speaks of the power of prayer in Carthage visit for An Evening With Eddie Lacy

Green Bay Packers running back Eddy Lacy addresses the crowd at Carthage College on Friday night.

It’s hard to say what goes through Eddie Lacy’s head as the Green Bay Packers running back charges through obstacles standing between him and the end zone.

“I’m trying to figure out who he is, too,” Lacy laughed as he spoke to a crowd of about 300 fans at Carthage College Friday night. “I don’t know what the switch is that makes me go from who I am to who I am on the field, because it’s so not my personality.”

Friday’s fundraiser for Outreach Hope Ministries was presented by the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

In his appearance at Carthage College, Lacy spoke about his faith and how it kept him going when his family was displaced from their New Orleans area home following Hurricane Katrina.

Listening to him talk about those years, the audience began to get a sense as to why the otherwise mild-mannered, jovial 24-year-old has no problem overcoming challenges in his path.

Lacy, who hails from Geismar, La., about an hour west of New Orleans, was in ninth grade when Hurricane Katrina hit. His family evacuated the area the day before the storm, but their home was destroyed.

“We took what we could from the house, but for the most part there was nothing,” Lacy recalled. His family found temporary housing through a home sharing program before eventually relocating to a small trailer.

“Nothing was the same,” Lacy recalled. “Before Katrina, I had your typical kid life, but then that all changed.”

The next three years Lacy describes as “a real dark place. The only thing I succeeded at during that time was football.”

“She began to tell me everything I was feeling and thinking,” Lacy said. “But the thing is, I’m someone who is really guarded with my emotions, so I was puzzled how she knew these things.”

When she was done speaking, Lacy’s mom turned and left the room. It was then that he realized how his mother knew the challenges and emotions he was battling.

“My mom prays a lot. She prays for me so much,” he said. “And that is when I really started to believe I had a chance. I could do something more. Without that moment, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”

There’s no hiding Lacy’s gratitude for his parents (last fall, he made good on his promise to buy them a house), or the power of prayer his mother instilled in him. For other young people experiencing a dark place, Lacy left them with this advice.

“Your parents, they’re there for you no matter what. So let’s start there,” he said. “And it’s prayer. There’s definitely power in prayer. And I learned that the night my mom talked to me.”

“Those times are building you up for what’s to come in the future,” he said. “And I think that’s what prayer and your parents help you with.”
