GREEN BAY, Wis. – Versatility is Royce Newman’s calling card. The question among scouts before the 2021 NFL Draft was whether Newman’s a jack of all trades or simply a master of none. “I think he sucks,” one scouting director said the Green Bay Packers’ fourth-round pick.

The University of Georgia’s defensive coordinator, Mel Tucker, was there. “I’m at the Georgia state track and field meet and saw this kid win the 100 meters and I said, “Holy, Smokes, who the heck is this guy?’” Tucker said last week. “He was a real thin kid but he was long and obviously super-fast.

May 11, 2021 GREEN BAY, Wis. – The uncertainty over Aaron Rodgers’ future with the Green Bay Packers has meant uncertainty over the team’s championship chances. That’s reflected at FanDuel Sportsbook. The Packers, with back-to-back appearances in the NFC Championship Game, opened at +1200 to win Super Bowl LVI. However, with the MVP quarterback’s 2021 in limbo, they’ve fallen to +1700. In response to the potential chaos in Green Bay, two teams’ Super Bowl odds have shortened significantly. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were +750 before the draft. Now, with a prime challenger shaken ...
