Report: Green Bay Packers hire former Aaron Rodgers teammate to coaching staff
The Green Bay Packers have just brought in another staffer to help with their special teams’ struggles, and maybe more. According to Field Yates, sources close to the Packers organization say Green Bay will hire Byron Storer as the new assistant special teams coach.
Storers hire will check off a few boxes for Green Bay. The first one is he has chemistry with newly hired special teams coach Rich Bisaccia. The duo worked together with the Las Vegas Raiders for the past four years. So, it’s safe to assume they will see eye to eye in fixing the Packers struggling special teams unit. The other one is a bit surprising, but could be beneficial to the Packers convincing Aaron Rodgers to stay in Green Bay. Storer was a teammate of Rodgers back in college at the University of California.
Former Packer AJ Hawk talks Rodgers future
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers just won the fourth MVP award of his career, and there wasn’t too much question surrounding his win. But, there is one thing that is not a sure thing, and that’s his future going forward. Some think, he’ll return to the Packers while others believe he’s out the door, and even a select few think Rodgers has played his last NFL game. With all this speculation his future swirling around, it’s good to have someone close to the MVP to give us perspective on his decision, and that is what we got out of former Packers linebacker AJ Hawk.

In the past, Hawk has been non-committal on his former teammate’s future until recently. Retired NFL punter, Pat McAfee found a surprising way to get this answer out of Hawk. When asked about Rodgers’s speech and plans, this is what the Ohio State product had to say.
“I feel like eventually he goes back to Green Bay,” said Hawk.
The majority of his 11-year career with right Rodgers and the Packers. He was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 draft by Green Bay; a year after taking Rodger with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft. During his time with the Packers, he started in 136 the 142 games he was featured in and missed just two games over his nine-year stay. Hawk finished his time in Green Bay with 922 total tackles, 629 solo, 55 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, and nine interceptions.
