Packers’ first and second-year draft picks flashed against the Titans

Extra attention has been given to the Green Bay Packers’ secondary the past few months. Leading the hype have been the Packers’ top two picks of the last couple drafts in Kevin King and Jaire Alexander. But in the Packers’ first preseason action of the 2018 season, neither cornerback came out of the tunnel in pads.

Still, Green Bay saw a number of its freshman and sophomore draft picks show out against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday evening. Running back Jamaal Williams (2017, 4th round) was one such standout. The second-year running back’s rushing numbers do not jump off the page with 16 yards on five carries, but his vision and patience led television announcer James Lofton to draw comparisons to Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell.
