GREEN BAY – There isn't always time for patience in the NFL.
Organizations must win now, top prospects need to produce yesterday, and when it comes to roster construction, Rome is often expected to be built in no more than an hour.
While the Packers are no different when it comes to wanting to hasten the learning curve for their younger players, they aren't opposed to playing the long game with player development.
There may be no better example of that than Green Bay's tight end position, where a pair of former college quarterbacks, Robert Tonyan and Tyler Davis, have risen to prominence.
