GREEN BAY – As the Packers opened training camp a week ago, Brynn Morrill took her place alongside all the other hopefuls in the bike corral outside of Lambeau Field.
Morrill, holding a brand-new BMX bike she bought just for the occasion, patiently stood and waited for her bike rider to emerge from the players’ entrance.
It’s a moment the 11-year-old girl from nearby Little Chute, Wis., had waited a year for.
As players started to trickle out for their first practice, Morrill’s heart jumped in excitement when the No. 84 of Jared Abbrederis flashed in her peripheral.
