I read a few comments about Special Teams and it sounds like that unit should be improved this year. The new special teams coordinator thinks JK Scott is going to come into his own this season. Honestly, I'm hoping he isn't used much. Have you heard much about special teams this training camp?


Special Teams Coordinator Maurice Drayton on Returners
Drayton said he’s “leaning” toward using rookie receiver Amari Rodgers on punt returns and is “really vetting” rookie running back Kylin Hill on kickoff returns.

“He has an even-keel demeanor right now,” Drayton said of Hill. “He doesn’t get too high, doesn’t get too low, and he has the ability to stick his foot in the ground and get vertical. That is awesome as a returner when it comes to setting up blocks.”



Why Kylin Hill as a KR? Drayton: "He has an ability to stick his foot in the ground and get vertical, and that is awesome when it comes to setting up blocks." He also says the rookie's "even-keeled demeanor" is impressive.



Maurice Drayton sheds some light on Randall Cobb's relationship with protege Amari Rodgers: "He has already taken him under his wing in practice, in meetings, sharing tips of the trade."



Packers ST coordinator Maurice Drayton said he’s “leaning toward” rookie WR Amari Rodgers as the punt returner and they’re “vetting” rookie RB Kylin Hill on kickoff returns but “a lot of other guys are putting in work.”

I also think it depends on whom the ST coaches have to work with, like usually backup CBs play on STs... but Jackson and Hollman were healthy scratches last year due to their lack of ST play. And the Packers have mainly gone for the large WRs which aren't the best for STs normally.

Which is one reason I like the CB we drafted in the mid-rounds. I believe he played on all his college ST units, even as a starter CB. And obviously WR Rodgers can return the ball and has a RB like build and I expect him and Cobb to be used for sweeps on offense.

Also do they keep 5 ILBers? For defense they don't need to (And I'm sorta against the idea) but it might be what's best for STs.
