Former Tiger going to be put to good use

A former Clemson football player’s new NFL offensive coordinator spoke very highly of him this week.

Packers’ offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett spoke to Packers.com this week about how Amari Rodgers can make a difference at the next level.

Hackett has been impressed with Rodgers throughout organized team activities for the last couple of weeks. And now it seems the rookie will be rewarded with a meaningful role in Green Bay’s scheme this fall.

“I think without a doubt he’s going to do some cool things for us this upcoming year,” Hackett said.

The offensive coordinator acknowledged there is a significant learning curve for first year players in the league that leads to ups and downs.
