GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford visited Lambeau Field ahead of the NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers gave him a tour of the locker room.
At that point, Aaron Rodgers' nameplate still hung atop the first locker to the right on the way in. Fast forward to this week's rookie minicamp and Clifford, a fifth-round pick, found himself standing in front of that same locker.
Only this time, the nameplate read "Clifford 8."
Not only did he inherit Rodgers' old locker, but he was assigned the jersey number that Rodgers will wear with the New York Jets.
