Cornerback learned of childhood friends’ tragic death prior to Thanksgiving game vs. Miami

After deciding to play, Rochell met with Dr. Chris Carr, the Packers' director of performance psychology and team behavioral health clinician. They talked through the situation and Rochell's feelings about the tragedy. From the conversation, Rochell found some peace.

"It actually made a big difference in the place I was at before the game," Rochell said. "I don't feel like I would've been able to play (otherwise). He definitely gave me some mental peace and quiet, clarity, and I needed that. Thankful for him every day. He checks on us, talks to us. He leads us through situations, gives us life tips. He's a great addition to the Packers organization."

The part I quoted here I feel is important. I know many struggle with mental health and depression. Often times, we try to "walk it off" or push through. Here's another example of being able to allow yourself to be vulnerable and helping find peace with something. In Robert's case, it was tragedy.

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : And the reason I think it is BS, is Bill isn't going to pine for a job that's not available. He respects the whole coaching people thing

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : I think it's BS. Jets thought win now with Rodgers, not happening.

beast (1-Dec) : I think Packers 1st playoff game might be Packers @ Seahawks, which we'll have in the regular season in two weeks

beast (1-Dec) : Yeah, Cardinals got me all excited for nothing... they choked. As of right now, we might get a playoff preview in 2 weeks

beast (1-Dec) : Did packerfanoutwest self-sabotage his pick'em? Doing so well, then this week
