GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Admit it: You chuckled when you saw DuJuan Harris listed as the starting running back after the Green Bay Packers released their first depth chart of training camp last week. After all, how could a guy who had not passed his physical or taken one single snap in organized team activities or minicamp practices this past offseason be the starter? To be sure, Harris finished last season as the starter and provided a late-season spark to an otherwise punchless running game.

DuJuan Harris will start opening game. Bookmark it!

DuJuan Harris, the way we finished the season I would classify him as a starter on our football team. That doesn't mean he goes out and plays every down. (But) I have that confidence in him. It took us awhile to get him ready last year, but I thought he finished the season very strong.

The kid did some serious damage during his limited time. And just think, he was previously selling CARS and had tumor or something on his lungh. Clean lungs, full offseason, Packers have their 1st, 2nd down back right there!

The guy ran hard for us last year. I understand this. We shall see.

OK so some of you guys like harris - why does Mike McCarthy like him? - I thought he liked guys that can block ... are you telling me a guy that is 5'8 and not even 200 pounds is going to block a 6'2 260 pound linebacker? let alone a DE?

Brandon Jackson was a sledge hammer blocking. He would knock linemen down.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
