Green Bay — There might not be another player on the Green Bay Packers' roster who endured the emotional up's and down's that wide receiver Adrian Coxson did with his deceased father. As he explained in the Journal Sentinel today, Coxson assisted his dad when he went blind and then was the one who needed to take him off life support after going into cardiac arrest twice.

I've said in the past the #5 and #6 receivers are a dime a dozen.

Just reading this guys story , going to keep an eye on him through training camp.

If not for the curves life threw at him, he may have been a 1st or 2nd round draft pick.

Ted always seems to find these guys and brings them in as udfa's.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

I like AC a bunch...his YouTube reels are pretty incredible. Ted Thompson has been great at WR finds. I'll be watching him but I like Larry Pinkard as much if not more. Those two UDFA WR's along with Dantzler are the 3 I'm really hyped up on and they seem to really like Ricky Collins and Javess Blue, also.

Perhaps, Jeff Janis and Abby are in trouble and not as good as we think.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

At least they are somewhat protected from injury during TC. If one guy goes down there isn't the huge dropoff in raw talent that some teams might experience.

6'1", 209 lbs, so they're not gonna transform him into a TE.

Sounds like some decent measurables.

Everything went according to plan for the former City standout, as he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.28 and 4.33 seconds. Coxson, 6 feet and 209 pounds, also bench pressed 225 pounds 15 times and had a 34-inch vertical leap.

Reminds me of a young Donald Driver.

I'd like to get my hopes up, but we're gonna be reading articles like this about all of the udfa's. I feel these are just the journalists' attempt to pass the dead time until training camp starts.

4.3 speed with that size and moral fiber? I'm pulling for this guy to make the team or atleast be a practice squad project.

Hopefully the medical staff won't fuck him up.

I'm not sure that 4.3 stuff is all that accurate. He was clocked at 4.28 but that's hand timed. I see his speed ranges as high as 4.58.

Gonna guess RC18 is just as fast as he is.

nfldraftscout.com pegs his time at 4.47
