4. Devante Mays impresses
With Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones understandably garnering all the hype from last year’s rookie draft class, Devante Mays has gone somewhat unnoticed. Although that’s probably not unusual considering he was a seventh round pick last year, Mays still managed to stay on the Packers’ roster all season.
Mays had a very tough rookie year, to say the least. He only ran the ball four times all season long and ended up fumbling twice. That’s simply unacceptable, especially for a rookie trying to stay on the team. Hopefully, he’s addressed that issue in the offseason and has got it under control.
Despite his fumbling issues, McCarthy and his coaching staff must’ve seen something they like in order to keep him around. With Williams, Jones and Montgomery set to get some work in the early part of the game against the Titans, Mays will be next in line and will likely see the bulk of the carries. Look for Mays to show the fans what the coaches saw in him last season.
