Who will be the kick returner for 2021?
Looks like Kylin Hill, though I think the Packers are going to take touchbacks and just start on the 25 as often as possible.

Packers made a big jump last year and led the league in third-down conversion rate. What do you think this was attributed to and could it get even better this year?
It'll be difficult to improve, as with many of the offensive accomplishments from last year. But first and foremost they stayed out of a lot of third-and-longs because the running game was effective, and the negative plays (sacks, penalties) were kept to a minimum. I think they also had a much better idea of what they do well in this offense (compared to 2019) and kept the third-down plan focused on those concepts.

In my years of watching the Packers, the best back I've seen at always moving forward and falling forward when being tackled was Eddie Lacy. He never gave up ground. Do you think AJ Dillon has the same potential?
He has that ability, as well as far more open-field speed.
Dana from Eau Claire, WI
It's hard not to get excited about the season listening to Aaron Rodgers talk about how he feels and the talent around him on offense. How big a test is New Orleans going to be without Brees and with a new defense that we really haven't seen yet on the field together?
The Superdome is always a big test, but the Saints have a bigger change with their offense to adjust to than the Packers do with their defense, in my opinion.
Robert from Saginaw, MI
Mike, if Hurricane Ida should prevent the Saints from hosting the opening game in New Orleans, would that game most likely be held in Dallas?
After Katrina in 2005, the Saints moved their headquarters to San Antonio and played some home games there. So we'll see. Right now I'm just praying folks stay safe down there.
Terrance from Sun Prairie, WI
What player will be the biggest surprise this year?
I think Royce Newman already qualifies if he's starting in Week 1.
Rick from Caledonia, WI
Who is your best underrated undrafted candidate to make the final roster based on training camp performance?
Jack Heflin, if they keep six defensive linemen, or if the number is five and they feel he beat out Tyler Lancaster.
Margo from Solvang, CA
Hi Mike! In looking at the pictures from practice, I noticed the offense always seems to wear white jerseys in practice while the defense always seems to wear green. Is that just tradition or is there a reason?
It's been that way here for as long as I can remember. I'm not aware of any specific reason aside from tradition.
Mark from Westminster, CO
Good morning, Mike. Everyone knows Robert Tonyan caught a TD every five catches last year, so I decided to watch his highlights. What I didn't really notice last year is how great a route-runner Tonyan is. Almost all his catches had massive amounts of defender separation by NFL standards. He knows exactly where the holes will be in the defense. The more I watched his highlights, the more I came away with a feeling that 11 TDs is not going to be an anomaly season during his career. He's really good!
He's a perfect fit for this offense, and vice versa. Plus, the best QB in the game trusts the heck out of him. That became even more evident in camp this summer.

Is there an Inbox term for when you ask a question and you read the Inbox the next day only to see someone else asked your same question in a much more insightful or eloquent way? Asking for a friend.
That requires a basketball analogy. It's called getting In-boxed out.
