Here's Johnny!! (Gotta Love it!) Preseason Wk1 2021

We are back!!!
For newcomers, this is a season-long contest with the idea being to pick the Packer who overachieves the most in the week's game. Long shot picks may win with a great play or two (think Jarrett Bush INT in the SB), while AR has to break some records to win since being great is expected... It's all very subjective and fun.
Full rules below, do read them because Papa John who invented this is a quirky guy. Especially the OL rule.
After the game, posters can vote on their favorite pick. We much appreciate sharing the reasoning behind the vote , since the conversations this contest spawns are really the meat. I guess the fun of guessing is the skeleton, winning is the reproductive system and cheering for bottom of roster guys is the heart and other squishy parts. Or something.
The winner gets a custom sig, and if I win the lottery or otherwise get rich, something from the Packers shop.
Cheeseheads, START YOUR PICKING!!!

Ok Ok, so it has been a convenient catch phrase for me over the past 30 some odd years. But besides that, it has inspired me to create a
week-by-week segment that will involve picking 1 Packers player that will really stand out in a good way; someone who we can expect to transform into a beast, force himself through the metaphorical door jam and really rear his ugly head.
You can pick anyone you wish, but just remember the bolder the pick, the better (ie, picking AR is a safe choice, but you're only likely to win if he does something historic).
Which brings me to my next topics - rules and voting:
- Each participant is allowed to pick 1 player per week. (See Amendment I)
- No two participants may pick the same player.
- Picks can be made from the time the weekly thread is posted until kickoff. Any picks made after kickoff will not be considered.
-- Amendment I:
a] If a player wishes, he/she may select the offensive line as their pick for the week. Your potential for votes depends on the performance of the entire group as a cohesive unit.
b] Individual players within the offensive line unit will still be eligible for selection before and after "offensive line" has been picked. (i.e. if someone has already chosen the Oline, Lane Taylor would remain an eligible pick)
c] The offensive line will be the only position group eligible to be picked and receive votes
- After each game, participants can place their votes for the one poster who they felt had the best pick.
- Voting session commences at the conclusion of the game and will end around mid-week.
- Each participant is allowed 1 vote per week.
- Only participants may vote and no participant may vote for him/herself.
The poster with the most votes at the time polls close (around midweek) will be that week's winner.
The poster who has won the most weeks at the end of the season will get a custom made banner for bragging rights and perhaps some additional prize (TBD).
Why am I doing this you ask?
Simple answer, really- all work and no play make Papa Johnny a dull boy.

Gotta Love It for sure. This is a no-brainer (keep your comments to yourselves
).
TE Daniel Crawford #80.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WIFR) - The Green Bay Packers announced a pair of moves Tuesday afternoon, which includes the signing of former Northern Illinois University tight end Daniel Crawford.
Crawford played in 42 games as a Huskie, he posted 65 receptions for 691 yards and three touchdowns at NIU. He played in 12 games in his junior season starting nine times. He ranked second in catches, and third in receiving yards for NIU that year. Crawford will wear number 80 for the Packers and joins a crowded tight end room that features Robert Tonyan.
GO PACK GO!!

I'll go with Henry Black, doubt either of Amos or Savage play and Black has been mentioned as a up and comer

Jace Sternberger. I think he will get a long look because the Packers already know what they have in Tonyan.
