GREEN BAY – Scoring a touchdown in the preseason doesn’t break any new ground for Jeff Janis.
His 20-yard grab last Thursday against the Eagles was his sixth career preseason TD reception, and the second-shortest of those half dozen, actually.
But upon closer examination, this one was a little different.
Mike McCarthy revealed after the game that quarterback Brett Hundley made a check at the line of scrimmage. As the play unfolded, it was clear Janis and Hundley were on the same page. Janis’ jab step to the inside was timed up perfectly with Hundley’s pump fake.
