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.

BREAKING: #Jets are signing FA WR Allen Lazard to a 4-year, $44M deal with $22M guaranteed, sources tell @thescore.

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.

"Since Friday my intention was to play for the New York Jets.. it's the compensation that's holding things up" ~ @AaronRodgers12#PMSLive pic.twitter.com/p7i0QBo2qQ

— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) March 15, 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.

Desmond Howard accomplished so much in his collegiate and professional career that the more you dig into it, the more impressive it becomes. Howard was born on May 15, 1970, in Cleveland, Ohio. Howard earned All-American and All-Ohio honors as a tailback during his senior season at St. Joseph High School in Cleveland. He scored 18 touchdowns and a record-breaking 5,392 rushing yards, as well as 10 interceptions on defense. He earned three varsity letters in track, football and basketball.

After his high school career, he chose to attend the University of Michigan, where his talents were put on display for the entire nation.  e originally committed to playing running back at Michigan. However, three days into his first camp, he was moved to wide receiver. The rest, as they say, was history. After rarely being used his freshman year, he broke out as a sophomore. That year he recorded 63 catches for 1,025 yards and 11 touchdowns. Additionally, he showed his versatility by running for 58 yards and averaging 29.6 yards on kickoffs, with a touchdown return.

Desmond Howard Put The Nation On Notice During His Junior Year

Desmond Howard's junior season is when he showed that he was truly something special. His acrobatic catches and explosive returns made him one of the most electrifying players ever to play the college game. He became the first receiver in Big Ten history to lead the conference in scoring (138 points). He set or tied five NCAA records and had 12 single-season Michigan records. Howard caught 61 passes for 960 yards and an astounding 19 touchdowns.

He also rushed 12 times for 165 yards and two TDs. In his return game, he averaged 15.3 yards (with a TD) on punt returns and 31 yards on kick returns (with a TD). The All-American won the Heisman by the second-largest margin of victory in the trophy’s history. He was also awarded the Walter Camp Trophy and the Maxwell Award that year before graduating from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications. After his junior year, he declared for the 1992 NFL draft. The Washington Redskins selected him fourth overall.

Desmond Howard's NFL Career

Desmond Howard bounced around five different teams during his 11-year NFL career. Howard spent time with the Washington Redskins (1992-1994), Jacksonville Jaguars (1995), Green Bay Packers (1996 and 1999), Oakland Raiders (1997-1998) and Detroit Lions (1999-2002). The highlight of his career certainly came during the 1996 season with the Green Bay Packers. That season he led the NFL in punt returns (58), punt return yards (875) punt return average (15.1), and punt return touchdowns (three). He also recorded 460 kickoff return yards. His 875 punt return yards set an NFL record that year.

He continued his success during the 1996 post-season. Howard had a punt return for a touchdown in a game between the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers. He also had a 46-yard punt return that set up another score. The Packers would go on to win that game and face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. Late in the third quarter, Drew Bledsoe led the Patriots down the field to score a touchdown and trim the Patriots' deficit to six. The very next play, Desmond Howard would make history.

The Patriots boomed the ensuing kickoff to the one-yard line, but Howard effectively shattered the Patriots' hopes for a comeback with a 99-yard kickoff return for a Packers touchdown. His return and the Packers' subsequent two-point conversion closed out the game's scoring, and the Packers eventually won 35–21. Desmond Howard took home Super Bowl MVP honors. Desmond Howard also earned Pro Bowl honors with the Detroit Lions in 2000.

What Is Desmond Howard Doing Now?

Desmond Howard joined ESPN in 2005 as a college football analyst. He has been an analyst on the Emmy-Award winning "College GameDay Built by The Home Depot" since 2005 and also calls midweek games on ESPN. He also contributes to a number of ESPN shows and platforms, including "Get Up," "SportsCenter," and "College Football Live." In 2011, Howard was selected for the College Football Hall of Fame. He has also been inducted into the Gator Bowl Hall of Fame, the University of Michigan Hall Of Honor, the State of Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, and the Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame. He currently resides in Miami, FL, with his family.

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

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 to win Super Bowl LVII. It was an incredibly exciting game, a back-and-forth affair that reminded fans why the NFL reigns supreme among American sports. The win also means that former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (MVS) and former Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Leo Chenal are now Chiefs Super Bowl Champions.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Helps Guide Chiefs to Super Bowl

While MVS did not record a catch on one target in Super Bowl LVII, he played a major role in the Chiefs’ offense all season. He recorded a career-high 42 receptions, and his 687 receiving yards were the second-most of his career (690 in 2020).

MVS was crucial in getting the Chiefs to the Super Bowl with his performance against Cincinnati in the AFC Championship. MVS had six receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown in that contest.

Leo Chenal: Badgers Standout to Chiefs Super Bowl Impact Player

The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Leo Chenal in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent most of the season in a reserve role, recording 19 tackles and a sack. However, he saved the biggest performance of his rookie season for the Super Bowl.

Against the Eagles, Chenal recorded six tackles and a sack. Amazingly, Chenal did not record a tackle in any of the Chiefs’ prior playoff games this postseason. His stunning performance in Super Bowl LVII is subsequently a sign of great things to come for the young linebacker.

Mark Mayfield of Mayfield Sports is one of the most well-known Sports Marketing Agencies in Wisconsin and the Mid-West U.S.  His portfolio includes numerous current and former Green Bay Packers players.  The relationship he has built with these players is second to none. One of those players is NFL Hall Of Famer Jerry Kramer, best known for the part he played in Vince Lombardi's 1960s dynasty with the Packers. Now Jerry Kramer can add a Super Bowl commercial to his long list of accomplishments.

Jerry Kramer Teams Up With Gordon Ramsey For Super Bowl LVII Commercial

During that infamous 1960s Green Bay Packers dynasty, Jerry Kramer collected some incredible memories. Kramer took locker room recordings (a 2-CD set with a picture book) during his Super Bowl run with the Packers. Fox entertainment licensed Coach Lombardi’s sound bite from Jerry for the upcoming Gordon Ramsay Super Bowl Commercial.

"Well, first of all, I have a super agent, Kramer said in a Feb. 9 interview about the commercial. "Fox entertainment contacted Mayfield Sports Marketing. They were aware of the sound bites that I had and were inquiring about the possibility of using them for an upcoming Super Bowl commercial for Gordon Ramsay's new season. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for the world to hear the type of impact that Mr. Lombardi made."

According to Kramer, he took the recording in 1967. He doesn't recall the exact day, but he remembers it was during that season.

"My relationship started off rocky with Coach Lombardi. I remember one of my first practices I jumped off-sides before the ball was snapped. Coach Lombardi stormed onto the field, got about six inches from my face, and yelled, 'High-Schoolers have a five-minute attention span, middle-schoolers have a three-minute attention span, elementary kids have a 30-second attention span, so where does that leave you?!'

After practice, I was feeling pretty down on myself and wondering what I will do next in my life because there is no way I will be playing for this guy again. Coach Lombardi came up to me, ruffled my hair in the locker room, and said: 'brush it off, Kramer. One day you'll be the best guard in the game.' From that point on, he gave me the mission and vision to be the best I can be every single day. By the end of the 1960s, I wanted to capture what it was like to be in the presence of Coach Lombardi's greatness."

Coach Lombardi's Impact

Many know the impact Lombardi made on the game. Heck, the NFL named the Super Bowl trophy after him. Yet, he also made an impact on players like Kramer off the field.

"Coach Lombardi had a rough side to him most of the time. He wanted to get the best out of players and was hard on them because of it.

However, I remember a time I was in the hospital having a steel pin screwed into my ankle, it hurt like hell, and Coach Lombardi came to visit me in the hospital. He showed his soft side to his players that gave it all for him each and every day. He impacted my life, both on and off the field, in life-changing ways. Coach Lombardi loved his players just as much as he loved the game.

Gordon Ramsey's "Next Level Chef" Super Bowl Commercial

Gordon Ramsay’s “Next Level Chef” will kick off its second season in the coveted postgame time slot. "Next Level Chef" season 2 premieres on Sunday, Feb. 12, immediately following Super Bowl LVII.

That would put the estimated start time at 10:30 pm ET/7:30 pm PT. Fox will air a commercial for this show during the Super Bowl, and Jerry Kramer's sound bite will be featured. It's an incredible honor for Kramer, Vince Lombardi, and the Green Bay Packers. You can watch a preview of the commercial here.

The Green Bay Packers took running-back AJ Dillon in the second of the 2020 NFL Draft. Being such a high draft pick, General Manager Brian Gutekunst had several expectations in mind.  The biggest expectation was providing flexibility in the Packers' offense. Dillon is a much different type of running back than Aaron Jones. Dillon has done exactly that in Green Bay's offense.

Through his first three seasons in Green Bay (though he's only seen regular playing time during the last two seasons), Dillon has accumulated 1,815 rush yards, 14 touchdowns, and averaged 4.3 yards per attempt. Dillon has provided a much-needed threat in short-yardage situations. Not only has he been an added threat in the Packers' offense, but he has also been as reliable as they come. During the last two seasons, Dillon hasn't missed a single game. He appeared in all 17 regular season games in 2021 and 2022.

Not only has AJ Dillon captured the hearts of fans on the field, but he has also accomplished that off the field. Dillon has said himself, "regardless of football and where it may or may not take me, I'm going to be a Green Bay guy for life."

Dillon donated $35,000 of fantasy football winnings to Non-Profits in Green Bay. He has stopped photo shoots unprompted to take pictures with fans during stadium tours. He has even received a key to Door County. The love for AJ Dillon has been fully displayed since arriving in Green Bay.

Now, with the help of BobblesGalore and Mayfield Sports Marketing, he is providing fans an opportunity to take home a piece of memorabilia in the form of a bobblehead!
