The other, better, Adams fought thru most of last year with one. Lots of people have sprained toes, it hurts more than you'd think
Well, it's good they are at the top...I guess. But the whole thing looks kinda funky.
Have you ever stubbed a toe on a bed post? Have you ever heard of "turf toe"? Turf toe is one kind of toe sprain which can be quite serious. It has in some cases put guys on IR, permanently diminished some players abilities and even prematurely ended some careers. Charles Woodson hardly practiced for most of two years with a lingering turf toe injury. Davante Adams missed 4 games last year with a turf toe injury. Fortunately in both cases neither player appeared to suffer any permanent affects on their play performance. Others have not been so lucky.
That's pretty interesting. Let's break it down. In respect of NFL football as an entertainment there are reasons to be upset with this. In respect of NFL football as a business, there's a question to be asked. What other kind of business allows reporters in the room for operational strategy and tactic sessions, which is a large component of what is being worked out in these practices? None. I suppose you could demand they sign a non-disclosure agreement but then what's the point?
Sterling Sharpe was a complete stud the year he played almost all the games with turf toe. He never practiced. On a side...it never bothered me one little bit that he did not talk with the press.
Feel free to come up with a better metric to compare the Packers success on day three of the draft to the rest of the league.
If the Packers let King walk in free agency next offseason we'll be back at spending our first round pick on a cornerback once again
I can see King playing well enough this season to price himself out of Green Bay. The key will be for the backup CB’s in the depth to improve to the point where you aren’t compelled to have to use a 1st round draft pick on a particular position.Feel free to come up with a better metric to compare the Packers success on day three of the draft to the rest of the league.

What metric? It's just a list. And probably based (like I said) on how long players stayed on a team and how much playing time they had. Which would not really mean a lot. Though I will say that a guy like Aaron Jones might push us up the ladder quite a bit.
As I commented after the draft, his highlight tapes showed a pretty natural catcher of the football. It would appear his college system simply preferred to keep his heavy touch count reserved for pounding the ball.

I hate to say this, and I'd like to be wrong, but to my eye his catching projects to this next level better than his running.
It's more than longevity. Most of what goes into a good running back shows itself between the time of the snap and the point where he hits the line...patience, timing, vision, setting up blockers, twitching to where the hole develops, minimizing contact in getting to the second level.
