Football Story of the Week comes from the talented Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, on the quirky Green Bay offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Jhabvala writes:
“[Hackett] majored in neurobiology, nearly became a doctor, taught hip-hop dance classes, is a wine connoisseur and has a gravitational pull to the greatest, biggest challenges he can find for himself. Hackett is, in short, a Renaissance man with a childish fervor who has a love for teaching, a love for football and a mental library few can match. Who else has sung Justin Timberlake over his headset when giving play-calls to a quarterback in the huddle? ‘It doesn’t take more than five minutes of talking to him to realize this guy’s really not like the rest of them,’ said quarterback Blake Bortles, a former first-round pick who played four years for Hackett in Jacksonville.”
