GREEN BAY, Wisc. — In the middle of the first training camp practice of the season, the Green Bay Packers rolled out doughnuts for their players. It was such a hit then, they did it again on Day 2.
Then once practice ended, a few players engaged in a hot session of “Man Hands.”
Cue up the Eddie Lacy and Seinfeld jokes now if you will.
Yes, some folks have had fun with Lacy’s weight (with doughnut punch lines) in the past, but we’re not talking about edible doughnuts here. These are tackling aids — giant padded rings — to help the players with their fundamentals that they hope will carry over into the season.
