GREEN BAY – Look up and down the stat sheet from the Packers’ Monday night win, and the list of contributions from the team’s youngest players goes on and on.
Receiver Ty Montgomery got his first NFL touchdown catch, running back Alonzo Harris gained 16 yards on his first pro carry, Damarious Randall had three tackles and broke up a pass and Jake Ryan had a tackle on special teams.
And that’s just the rookies.
Throw in two linebackers in second-year pro Jayrone Elliott and former practice-squadder Joe Thomas getting their first NFL sacks, plus Elliott and second-year receiver Jeff Janis recording two special teams tackles each, and Green Bay’s latest victory has the seeds of player development growing all over it.
