Green Bay Packers: A Draft Homecoming and OTAs Kickoff
The Green Bay Packers are making headlines with the announcement that the NFL Draft will return to Wisconsin after an 85-year hiatus. The last time the draft was held in the state was in 1940, in a hotel ballroom in Milwaukee. This historic event is a significant milestone for the Packers and their fans, marking a homecoming of sorts for the prestigious event.
In addition to the draft news, the Packers have also commenced their Organized Team Activities (OTAs), a crucial period in the NFL calendar where teams begin to shape their rosters and strategies for the upcoming season. The Packers' OTAs will provide an opportunity for the coaching staff to evaluate the team's new and returning talent.
The team also announced the signing of wide receiver Jadakis Bonds, further bolstering their offensive lineup. Bonds' arrival comes at a time when the Packers are looking to build a formidable offense for the next season.
The Packers will be entering the season with starting quarterback Jordan Love, who was drafted in the first round of 2020. Trading Aaron Rodgers was definitely an odd turn of events and it will be interesting to see how Love and the team can do after disappointing everyone last year with an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs.
