Read here from Bedard as jsonline re free agent signees. I like the Tyrell Sutton signing. I do wonder why he wasn’t drafted if he has the kind of potential people think he has. I do remember him giving the Badgers a difficult time a game or two and he’s had some nice highlight moves. My hope, as I mentioned before, was to draft or sign a shifty RB who could give the team a different look from Grant’s downhill style. Sutton should bring this and compete with Jackson and Wynn for a roster spot and maybe good playing time.

Don’t forget Kraig Lumpkin. Looked pretty darn good before getting banged up last season.

I’m an NU guy, so of course I’m gonna love Sutton- despite his performing only 12 reps on the bench press at the combine. Ugh. I think he needs to spend some time with a nutritionist and at the gym.
I’ll say this about him- he immediately becomes the Packers’ best receiver out of the backfield, and if given the chance will be one of the best in the NFL in that role. I think he’ll be an excellent third down back for a team that really didn’t have one last year.
