Thirteen players ran the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds

or faster at the 2018 NFL Combine. The Green Bay Packers now have four of them on their roster https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Jamaal-Williams-Jersey , as astute Twitter user @buzzboy3 noted on Thursday.Green Bay drafted cornerback Jaire Alexander and his 4.38 speed with their first selection in the draft last April, then picked up wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (4.37) in round five. Following final cuts, general manager Brian Gutekunst also signed cornerback Tony Brown, he of the 4.35-second time, to the practice squad. Brown has since been promoted to the active roster to bolster an oft-injured cornerback unit.Then on Wednesday, the Packers made a handful of roster transactions, one of which was claiming defensive back Natrell Jamerson on waivers. The former Wisconsin Badgers DB is the fourth player to hit that time cutoff in the 40, running in 4.40 flat at the Combine. Originally a fifth-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints, Jamerson failed to make it through final cuts Dean Lowry Jersey , but was immediately scooped up by the Houston Texans. After suiting up for the team’s first ten games, Jamerson then sat out the past two weeks before his release on Tuesday. Jamerson joins Alexander, second-round pick Josh Jackson, and Brown as DBs who we listed on the Packers’ potential draft boards prior to April’s selection meeting. Interestingly, although Jamerson was listed as a safety at the Combine and on the Texans’ roster, the Packers have him as a cornerback on theirs.Jamerson’s size (5-foot-11, 201 pounds) and speed do make him a candidate to play corner as well as safety, and his lateral quickness helps as well. Although NFL Draft Scout published his 3-cone time as 7.07 seconds, Wisconsin’s officially-reported time was 6.87 Kentrell Brice Color Rush Jersey , right at the ideal cutoff time that we assumed this spring. His workouts earned him a value of 8.21 out of 10 on the RAS scale, putting him in the upper fifth of safeties in terms of overall athletic ability.He also has a knack for big plays with the football; he scored a touchdown in the East-West Shrine Game in January on a fumble return. Jamerson then appeared to score a fumble return touchdown in week eight against the Miami Dolphins, but a replay review showed that quarterback Brock Osweiler’s arm was going forward and the play was ruled an incomplete pass. That comes in addition to a pair of touchdowns in college, one on a kickoff return as a sophomore and one on a pick-six as a senior.As a cornerback, Jamerson appears well-suited to play a slot corner role for the Packers, having lined up there often in Madison during his three years as a defensive back. He also has the aforementioned kick-return ability, which could come in handy for a Packers squad that saw return specialist Trevor Davis go on injured reserve for the second time this year. Finally, Jamerson is talented on kick and punt coverage as well, serving as a gunner on those teams for years.Even if Jamerson does not see much playing time on defense in the final four weeks of the season https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Geronimo-Allison-Jersey , he should get some run on special teams. He now has a month-long opportunity to show that he deserves to at least stay with the Packers through next year’s training camp. sIt finally became too much for Mark Murphy and the folks in charge at 1265 Lambeau Field. Mike McCarthy is out as head coach of the Green Bay Packers.The team announced the move on Sunday evening, following their 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.McCarthy spent nearly 13 years as the head coach of the Packers, putting up an overall record of 125-77-2 for a total winning percentage of 0.621. That span included nine winning seasons and eight years with 10 or more wins, as well as six division titles. The Packers made four NFC Championship Games during his tenure, going 1-3, and they won Super Bowl XLV following the 2010 season.However, issues on offense over the past few years became too much for the top brass to ignore. The Packers finished 7-9 in 2017, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed nine games, but the team still finished in 26th in total offense and 21st in points scored. 2018 is arguably even worse Oren Burks Jersey , as the Packers sat 17th in points and 10th in yards despite Rodgers starting every game. The team currently holds a 4-7-1 record after Sunday’s loss.Perhaps even more damning were the reports of tension between McCarthy and Rodgers, particularly in 2018. However, Rodgers signed a new contract extension in August while McCarthy’s contract was extended this offseason to only run through 2019, so there was no question which man the Packers would prioritize over the other should it come to this.The Packers will play out the season with Joe Philbin as the interim head coach before conducting a full search for a new head coach after the season. Philbin returned to Green Bay this offseason as offensive coordinator; he served as the Miami Dolphins’ head coach for a little less than four years from 2012 to midway through the 2015 season.Team president Mark Murphy made a statement about the move, thanking McCarthy for his years of service to the franchise. He added that the team will begin its search for a permanent new head coach immediately.
