Summary
Green Bay’s running back depth is a work in progress, with Josh Jacobs leading the charge while Chris Brooks, a newly signed two-year, $4.85M free agent, steps into the backup role. Brooks, who’s shown promise with 82 carries for 395 yards and a TD over three seasons, brings experience and blocking skills to the table — especially valuable as he knows the Packers’ system. With Emanuel Wilson gone and MarShawn Lloyd sidelined by injury, Brooks has a real shot to see over 150 carries this season. But he’ll need to prove himself in training camp, as competition from Savion Williams and others could heat up the race for carries. Brooks can’t afford to get comfortable — he’s got to earn his spot. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
