Two days in, Tim Boyle shows he’s not giving up the Packers' backup quarterback job without a fight

GREEN BAY — Tim Boyle admitted Monday his heart dropped a bit when he saw the Green Bay Packers trade up and pick quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the April NFL draft.

But Boyle isn’t wallowing in self-pity or wondering whether his days in Green Bay are numbered just like his mentor and buddy, Aaron Rodgers, knows his likely are following Love’s selection.

Instead, the Packers third-year backup quarterback has come out guns blazing — with noticeably bigger biceps popping out from beneath the sleeves of his red No. 8 practice jersey — with two strong days of practice leading into Tuesday’s first in-pads practice.
