Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can see a difference in Royce Newman entering the 2022 season. The second-year offensive lineman literally looks different.
“Royce looks heavier,” Rodgers said earlier this month. “He might not look the same coming out of the shower to his girlfriend as he did last year. I feel like his belly got a little bigger, but that might make him a better right guard.”
Improvement is necessary after an up-and-down rookie season.
Newman, a fourth-round pick of the Packers in 2021, said the game is starting to slow down a little bit after starting 16 of 17 games at right guard in Green Bay last season.
