Packers Poke Fun At Their New Head Coach’s Injury
Green Bay Packers are going through a significant change in their organization. Gone are the days of Mike McCarty, and head coach Matt LaFleur entered the ring as a head coach. The vibes from the early Packers camp have been good. These guys seem to be having fun out there with their new coaches, and everyone is attending minus Josh Jones who is scared of a rookie. As you may have heard, LaFleur tore his Achilles tendon playing basketball last week. Yesterday at OTAs, LaFleur scooted around the practice field. Players like Jimmy Graham and Aaron Rodgers had some fun with his injury.
Aaron Rodgers read us a "statement" today. Rodgers: "I wanted to say to Matt LaFleur is a highly athletic former athlete who had an unfortunate accident in the gym, but because of his exceptional diet and work ethic, he'll be back sooner rather than later." #Packers pic.twitter.com/SBjTvy8lju

That is pretty good from the quarterback, and it is not a surprise that Graham is the one criticizing LaFleur’s basketball game. One thing I’ve noticed is Graham trying more to be involved with things. Whether it is giving teammates rides on his helicopter or speaking to the media, he seems to be more involved this offseason. I’m not sure if that’s him trying to compensate for last season or what, but he has been definitely more out in the open compared to last year. Rodgers and he seem to have struck up a friendship which doesn’t surprise me.
