Getting ready to hit the practice field for the first time as Green Bay Packers on Friday afternoon, the 2010 draft class was admittedly nervous, and understandably so.

After all, they had received introductions to their gargantuan NFL playbooks in meetings earlier in the day, they were determined to make a strong first impression, and they were taking the field with teammates and coaches who were total strangers.

That's a lot to manage in a day's time, for sure. But the mindset that gets them through it is that, hey, it's still the same game.

"There's natural nerves because it's a new place, but when it comes down to it, it's football," said offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse, a fifth-round draft choice from TCU. "So that's kind of the calming effect. It's just, 'All right, I've been doing this for a while. I can do this.'"

They certainly can or they wouldn't have been among the Packers' seven draft choices last weekend.
