2015 Training Camp — Day 4

Another day dawns in Green Bay, with another early-morning 2015 Packers Training Camp practice on the schedule.

Our vantage point was at the south end of Ray Nitschke Field, as most of the scrimmaging would be done on that end this day. How do we know this? It’s a secret.

The equipment crew is out first, to set everything up for that day’s drills. 

The south end of the Packers’ training facility. 

QB Aaron Rodgers comes out to join his offensive teammates on the field.

The quarterbacks all together — Blanchard, Rodgers, Tolzien, and Hundley.

All the receivers — including tight ends — get in some early work. 

WR Jordy Nelson gets a grip on the ball. 

Head Coach Mike McCarthy (center) watches over the pass receivers.

TE Andrew Quarless reaches for a high reception. 

TE Kennard Backman has one slip through his grasp. 

Isn’t this considered “hands to the face”? 

The Packers’ top two draft choices of 2015 — CB Damarious Randall (#23) and CB Quinten Rollins (#24) — share a moment on the sideline.

TE Andrew Quarless (#81) with LB Julius Peppers (#56) hot on his trail.

Some good ol’ fashioned scrimmaging — the best part of practice. 

The defense awaits the offense at the line of scrimmage.

Rookie WR Ty Montgomery (#88) makes some yards after the catch. 

The scoreboards at each end of the field keep the time of each period of practice, as well as posting various game scenarios. 

S Morgan Burnett (#42) makes an angle in his pursuit of RB Eddie Lacy (#27). 

QB Aaron Rodgers (taking a knee) watches Scott Tolzien run the offense, along with QB Matt Blanchard (#6), and QB Brett Hundley (#7).

K Mason Crosby (#2) gets in some field goal practice, with P Tim Masthay holding.
