As the Ravens’ wide receivers coach then, Hostler worked with polished veterans such as Derrick Mason and Anquan Boldin, who confirmed for him that even the most accomplished players in the league never stop looking for an edge.
“Those guys want to be coached,” said Hostler, who was named the Packers’ pass game coordinator on offense earlier this week. “It’s important for them to get better every year.
“They approach it like Michael Jordan from the standpoint of every year starts over for those guys. That’s why they’re in the league as long as they are.”
Hostler hasn’t met his newest offensive weapons yet, but he believes Green Bay’s veteran receivers Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and newly minted Pro Bowler Davante Adams will continue to attack their jobs much the same way.
