If Eddie Lacy is not the best running back in the NFC North in 2014, he will be in 2015. Think about that for a second. Matt Forte is an exceptional back. I really like his game and appreciate the way he provides impact in all phases but he’s not the monstrous athlete that Lacy…

Green Bay Packers Rosterdamus 1.0
With the completion of the 2014 NFL Draft and the subsequent undrafted free agent signings we now (probably) know the 90 players that the Packers are going to go to camp with. This means we can really start thinking (and get excited) about next season. One of the realizations that I came to after this…
