3 Emerging Surprises at Packers Training Camp

The Green Bay Packers find themselves entangled in a perplexing situation at the safety position. They lack both a present starter who can reliably hold the fort and a player who holds the promise of becoming a long-term solution for the position’s future.

Emerging as a potential candidate for the latter is the seventh-round rookie, Anthony Johnson Jr. Almost by default, Johnson has assumed the mantle of first-team safety in the last two practice sessions – a development that even took him by surprise. Head coach Matt LaFleur has observed Johnson’s speed becoming evident on the field and commends his unwavering work ethic, a combination that could bode well for the Packers’ safety position.

These three players are turning heads as pleasant surprises during the Green Bay Packers’ training camp.

Johnson is indeed an unexpected revelation, providing a glimmer of hope as Green Bay navigates its congested safety landscape. It’s worth giving him a long look before they have to make some tough roster decisions on August 29th.

While Darnell Savage and Jonathan Owens have occupied the roles of starting safeties in recent practices, their performances have yet to instill unwavering confidence. Tarvarius Moore and Rudy Ford are the other primary options, with special teams ace Dallin Leavitt rounding out the top five safeties.

Now, let’s dive into two other Packers who have been emerging surprises in the ongoing training camp.
