Women's ranks growing in NFL

You can count the number of women working on the field in the NFL on one hand, and four of them were hired in recent months.

Three are athletic trainers.

One a coach.

And the other a referee.

These hires are historic, a sign of changing times, but the reaction to their presence is mixed — from supportive, to tolerant, to indifferent — in the Green Bay Packers locker room.

"I think it's great for the game," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said of women working as trainers, officials and agents in the league.
