GREEN BAY, Wis. – OK, maybe he’s biased.
Andrew Brandt, who served as the Green Bay Packers vice president of player finance from 1999 through 2008, picked the Packers to win this year’s Super Bowl in Sports Illustrated’s Monday Morning Quarterback season predictions.
“I know, I know: My Packer bias is showing again. I am who I am, and 10 years working in that place has embedded me with the trait of looking at that team through rose-colored glasses,” Brandt said. “But, as is said: This time is different. The team is loaded with young talent, a quarterback who finished the season playing as well as any in football, and selective free-agent acquisitions – Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney – who are difference makers.
