Could Brett Hundley become a 2-point conversion specialist?

Here's the problem with that -- it would mean keeping three quarterbacks on the 46-man game-day roster, assuming Scott Tolzien is Aaron Rodgers' primary backup as expected.

Good point, but there are situations with injuries and whatnot where you might have an extra guy inactive. It'll be interesting to see how Hundley does in preseason, compared to Tolzien.

I like Hundley, and I HOPE they don't just let him languish inactive most of the season. I want to see him in some short yardage and goal line situations - MAYBE even occasionally a two-point try. I even want to see him tried as a TE with the capability for some kind of a trick play with him passing. However, I don't see him beating out Tolzien as the backup QB.

If the Packers are gonna go for two a lot, though - as I suspect a lot of teams will with the new rules, I'd rather they run their regular offense - Aaron Rodgers or maybe handing to Lacy, which stands a pretty good chance of picking up two yards (it is from the 2, right, for a two-pointer?)

Why not just use Aaron Rodgers? If anyones a specialist at getting the ball into the endzone it's him.
