Carlson Makes Splash in Unique Kicking Drill

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Tuesday’s practice at Green Bay Packers OTAs ended in some Matt LaFleur-inspired kicking chaos.

Greg Joseph, Jack Podlesny and Anders Carlson each got one shot from 53 yards. This wasn’t just an ordinary practice-field kick, though. They were surrounded by teammates who were yelling, cheering and waving towels in close proximity.

“Just make it as difficult as possible on the kickers,” LaFleur said after practice. “We want to put them in situations that are pretty uncomfortable. I would say that’s pretty uncomfortable. Nowhere in ball are you going to have an entire team lined up around you.
