GREEN BAY – Joe Whitt told Davon House he didn’t have to come.
Last month, near the stroke of midnight on a Sunday, the Packers cornerback found himself stranded at the Minneapolis airport after missing his flight to Green Bay due to a delayed connection.
With no rental cars available, House phoned Whitt, his longtime position coach, to ask if it would be OK if he skipped Monday’s organized team activities, which started at 7 a.m.
“He called me beforehand and he asked me if it was OK for him to miss,” Whitt said.
