DeShone Kizer hasn’t had the career he envisioned with two NFL seasons behind him. The former Notre Dame starting quarterback looked the part of a first-round pick in 2017.

Aaron Rodgers is not a fan of joint practices, so after the Green Bay Packers held joint sessions with the Houston Texans, Rodgers sounded off, saying he “wouldn’t mind if they didn’t do it for another 14 years” and deemed the kickoff drills “unsafe.” Add another chapter to the already delicate relationship between Rodgers and […]
