Michigan linebacker Rashan Gary enters the NFL with concerns about

his shoulder. Concerns that have been downplayed by him and by his new team Womens Geronimo Allison Jersey , the Packers.The downplaying continued on Friday, when Gary showed up for his first practice as a Packers with (drum roll) a brace on his shoulder.“Yeah, when I got hurt at Michigan, I came back, and I wore the brace,” Gary said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “I’m comfortable with it, wearing it. Me and the trainers decided just to wear it. I feel comfortable playing with it, so I’m rocking it.”Coach Matt LaFleur also tried to adopt a “this is fine” vibe.“I’ll probably get more into that with those guys as we move forward Jaire Alexander Jersey White ,” LaFleur said regarding Gary’s shoulder. “I think it’s just totally precautionary.”Whether it’s totally precautionary or partially (or totally) something more remains to be seen. But no one can say the Packers didn’t have a full and fair ability to poke and prod the shoulder before making Gary the 12th pick in the draft. To the extent the condition scared off other teams that may have taken Gary earlier, that’s good news for Green Bay.If, of course, the shoulder really is fine. Oklahoma’s Cody Ford is one player to watch in this week’s scouting lowdown before the Combine begins."With the NFL Combine set to begin next week, the hype around the 2019 NFL Draft is about to rise as top prospects look to make their name in front of team scouts. Before the event kicks off next Tuesday, I checked in with an anonymous player personnel assistant about three particular prospects that will be showcasing their talents at the event. Each is a player that offers plenty of personal intrigue at various points of the draft and could fit into the Green Bay Packers’ plans. Here are those three player breakdowns from two different points of view, with an added bonus profile at the end.Cody FordOL, Oklahoma, 6’4 Womens Montravius Adams Jersey , 330In the middle of the hype surrounding Greg Little and Jonah Williams, Ford was a bit lost in the shuffle for me when considering the top offensive linemen in the upcoming draft. But the first thing that stands out about Ford is his sheer size. A mammoth of a man, Ford is able to use his great strength and technique to neutralize the edge in the running game. He shows potential to wall off speed rushers at the NFL level, but can be beaten at times by inside moves. Ford stands a bit too upright coming out of his stance at this stage, but has had the pure power to compensate in terms of leverage to this point. He protected the blindside for two Heisman Trophy winners in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray that were adventurous and sometimes unconventional inside the pocket and rolling out.Some have made comparisons between Ford and Jason Peters from a size and athleticism perspective and that’s a very favorable association. For Green Bay, selecting Ford with the 12th overall selection would probably mean the Packers see him as a future right tackle. However, Ford’s skillset and size may make him an even better guard prospect at the next level and could potentially help Green Bay immediately at right guard.Zach AllenDE, Boston College, 6’5 http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jamaal-williams-jersey , 285High effort and versatility define Allen, traits Green Bay loves in its defensive linemen. As a rusher off the edge, he accumulated an astounding 40.5 tackles for a loss over his last three seasons in addition to 16.5 sacks. Allen was used in a variety of defensive fronts at Boston College, lining up at the end position in both 3-4 and 4-3 alignments. He occasionally rushed from a stand-up position, but could also have the ability at the pro level to fill an interior position on pass rushing downs. Allen is not an elite athlete, but he holds his own defending the edge and anticipates snaps enough to get a quick start. He will get his hands up to deflect passes. Allen adds an efficient inside move to complement his competent bull-rush and outside tricks that often involve an initial counter move. However, Allen may struggle at the next level with pure speed moves due to his limited twitch. The often comical “football player” term coined by Ted Thompson during his time as General Manager applies to Allen, who goes hard on every play. He could be an interesting utility piece along the Packers’ defensive line, although he is not the edge rushing linebacker they may need most.Jace SternbergerTE Womens Kyler Fackrell Jersey , Texas A&M, 6’4, 250In one season in College Station after beginning his career at Kansas, Sternberger broke out as a true weapon, leading the team in catches (48), receiving yards (832), and touchdowns (10). His 17.3-yard average was an accurate barometer for the downfield and yard-after-catch threat he was. Sternberger lined up in a variety of ways for the Aggies, spending time in-line and in the slot. As a result, Sternberger was used in creative routes to take advantage of his receiving skillset despite not being a crisp route-runner. He can cross the middle and stretch the field in the seams and along the sidelines with sneaky separation speed. Owning the ability to catch the ball in traffic Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , Sternberger also impressively can carry defenders after the catch. A hands catcher, he was adept at catching the ball in traffic and has a large catch radius. As a blocker in the run game, he has some work to do, especially in terms of the angles he takes to picking up blockers. But there are stretches in which Sternberger shows potential to seal those blocks on the edge and has the size to help him in that respect. For the Packers, Sternberger could be groomed under Jimmy Graham and used in many of the same ways. His versatility could offer the Packers an H-back option while he develops the finer points of the position and the team continues to trend away from the fullback.And for the icing on the cake, here is a perspective on running back Josh Jacobs of Alabama.
