“One of the absolute best human beings and smartest coaches around.”
Former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, seemingly a locker room favorite, is closing on a deal to become the Denver Broncos’ next head coach. This has spawned reactions from current and former Packers players about Hackett, which Acme Packing Company will update throughout the day. To say the least, it seems like Hackett will be missed in Green...

Hackett has been the Packers offensive coordinator for the last three years
According to Gene Frenette of the Florida Times-Union, the plan for Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett on Thursday was to take a trip to Jacksonville for his second interview for the Jaguars’ head coaching vacancy. Instead, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, contract negotiations heated up with Hackett and the Denver Broncos late on Wednesday,...
The Denver Broncos entered the offseason needing a new head coach and a franchise quarterback. They accomplished the first part Thursday morning by reportedly hiring Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as the next head coach of the franchise.
Are the Broncos hoping having Hackett on staff will help lure Rodgers? Judging from what the QB has said about the coach in the past, it won't hurt.

Surely, special teams won’t be THAT important. Right? Right?
Several Acme Packing Company contributors have joined forces for a Packers-focused podcast: Reporting As Eligible. If you’ve ever wondered what Paul Noonan or Matub sound like in real life, tune in as they join JR Radcliffe of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel for discussion and banter about the Packers and whatever else is going on out there.

Hackett drew interest from a number of teams. He was scheduled to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, which is part of the reason the Broncos moved quickly to hire him.
Hackett has been the Packers offensive coordinator since 2019 and prior to that, he served in that role for the Buffalo Bills in 2013 and 2014, and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2016 through 2018.
Hackett, 42 has been the offensive coordinator in Green Bay since 2019. While he hasn’t handled play-calling duties during that time, he is credited to a large degree with the high level of play QB Aaron Rodgers.
A Jacksonville landing would be quite interesting for Hackett, who worked as the Jags’ OC from 2016-18.
Eli Manning spent his entire 16-year NFL career with the Giants, and he thinks Aaron Rodgers should do the same with the Packers.

Clark is replaced by Eagles DL Javon Hargrave
The Philadelphia Eagles announced today that their defensive tackle Javon Hargrave will play in this year’s Pro Bowl in the absence of Green Bay Packers nose tackle Kenny Clark. Clark played 47 of 54 snaps (87 percent) on defense against the San Francisco 49ers in last week’s 13-10 divisional-round loss. That was good for the fifth-most on the defense and the most of any line of scrimmage...

Green Bay also added two non-Packers via futures contracts
Last summer, undrafted free agent rookie defensive lineman Jack Heflin went from a relative unknown to a preseason fan favorite. With only one year of Power Five experience after a transfer to Iowa, few had high expectations for Heflin when he signed with the Green Bay Packers post-draft. That changed in the preseason when the little-known rookie turned his “trash can...

Former Wisconsin Badger T.J. Watt won defensive player of the year
When the Associated Press named their All-Pro team and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers earned 34 of the 50 votes for the first-team’s signal-caller, it became obvious that he had the inside track for the Most Valuable Player Award. Despite dissenting opinions, like the one of Hub Arkush, nothing was going to stop Rodgers from bringing home hardware...
