There was a lot that took place during the Green Bay Packers’ annual Family Night practice, and you can find many of those items in my key observations article. However, I also wanted to dive deeper into some of my most important takeaways.
The Family Night practice is played inside Lambeau Field and provides the players with a game-like feel as they practiced in front of 65,000-plus fans. The practice consisted of one-on-one drills, situational drills such as third downs, red zone situations, and two-minute scenarios, along with special teams reps.
“What an incredible atmosphere,” said Matt LaFleur in his post-practice press conference. “I think that was the most people that I’ve experienced in five years here. You got to give it up for our fans, showing up for us.
“It’s a great experience, a great environment for a lot of our young players. Certainly, to end it offensively, with Jordan (scoring in the two-minute drill), I thought it was a great job.”
Again, there was a lot to choose from, but if I were to put a bow on what I saw, here are my five big things from the Packers’ eighth training camp practice.
