On Aug. 15, on a practice field in Charlotte, Aaron Rodgers had one of his best moments of training camp. Only for this one, he wasn’t throwing or running. He didn’t even have a football, or so much as a film clicker, in his hand, either.
The New York Jets had just finished their joint practice with the Carolina Panthers, and his former teammate (and Rock Hill, S.C.’s own) Tori Gurley came over to catch up with him. Gurley was on the Packers’ practice squad in 2011 and stuck in Green Bay through camp in ’12. He was a receiver then, there for 13 months, and never caught a ball from Rodgers in a regular-season game.
