GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Those who have been surprised by Green Bay Packers rookie quarterback Sean Clifford and his throw-caution-to-the-wind approach to the position should have talked to Justin Hollins first.
The Packers’ fifth-year linebacker wouldn’t say he told you so, but he at least had an inkling -- maybe not that through two preseason games Clifford would have led the NFL in passing yards per game and rank third in completion percentage, but that the fifth-round draft pick, the 11th quarterback selected this year, could play.
Full disclosure, Hollins had some inside information.
