In a previous article, I highlighted two big backs who could help the Green Bay Packers replace Eddie Lacy in the middle rounds of the upcoming NFL draft: Texas’ D’Onta Foreman and Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine. However, there are multiple options for the Packers even in the middle to later rounds. James Conner – Pittsburgh (6-1,…
With the departure of Eddie Lacy, the Green Bay Packers are missing a bruising presence in the backfield. While the team is certainly happy with the progress of wide receiver turned running back, Ty Montgomery, the rest of the running back corps is run-of-the-mill at best.
