Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said rookie linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper was the team’s special teams player of the week after delivering a couple of tackles and a key block during the Packers’ 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week.
Bisaccia sees Hopper — a third-round pick — as an ascending player for his special teams.
“Yeah, Hop’s really starting to show up, especially on the kickoff team,” Bisaccia said Thursday. “He’s made some plays now. He’s been taken care of a little bit because other guys have shown up earlier and started to get doubled and he’s been singled a little bit and made three really good plays last week.
