Sure, the Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver had caught several passes from quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the team’s two-day mandatory minicamp. He’d seen Rodgers in the cafeteria, weight room, hallway and locker room. He’d even gotten a private lesson, along with fellow rookie wideout Danny Davis, on the finer points of route running from Rodgers in the middle of a red-zone drill.
But he’s still awestruck when he sees the future Pro Football Hall of Famer around the Lambeau Field facility. Maybe that vibe will dissipate during training camp, but it’s not gone just yet.
“It’s definitely not as big as it was when I first saw him and met him, but it is still there,” Toure said with a smile.
