2018 Training Camp — Practice #2


Friday morning’s second 2018 Training Camp Practice #2 was in weather that was very warm when the sun came out, and very cool when it was cloudy. But a very large crowd was on hand for the second straight day.


The Packers’ Training Camp Staff get their morning briefing prior to the gates opening 90 minutes before practice.

The defensive backs getting to work.


2018 No. 1 draft pick CB Jaire Alexander (#23) makes a leaping grab in a drill which accomplishes the purpose of making a leaping grab.


LB Blake Martinez (#50) gets some instruction.


2018 third-round draft pick LB Oren Burks (#42) snagging a pass as well.


LB Clay Matthews (#52) and others chase down an assistant acting as the QB.


The offensive players join the rest of the team on the field.


DT Mike Daniels (#76) in a drill designed to make the player run around the circle and bat the ball from the “quarterback’s” hand. This does not mean that QB’s are dummies.


DE Dean Lowry (#94) in the same drill.
