Notable #Packers tryout is Iowa defensive lineman Mike Hardy, an Appleton, Wis. native.

Very strange to see someone else in No. 24 and hear someone else, not Shawn Slocum, leading practice on the mic.

And there's second-round pick and former four-year Miami (Ohio) point guard Quinten Rollins... pic.twitter.com/8HxADdR4uW

Folks have raved about 2nd-round CB Quentin Rollins' movement skills. He's raw, but you can sense his athleticism without pads. Very fluid.

No surprise, but #Packers begin with Jake Ryan at inside linebacker, where they said he'd play. Ryan paired with Joe Thomas.

WR Ty Montgomery in the No. 88. First since Finley to wear it. His story from this week: http://t.co/xfSdW74waO pic.twitter.com/wDRTLXGTDO

Observation: @univmiami CB LaDarius Gunter (@yaboi_GUNTER) has jumped out to me during #Packers rookie drills.

There's your rookie camp play of the day: Quinten Rollins steps in front of a Hundley pass for a would-be pick-six in 11 on 11.

McCarthy on Damarious Randall being limited today: "Just being smart with him. Some type of injury. Minor." #Packers

Mike McCarthy's first impression of rookie QB Brett Hundley: "I thought he threw the ball well, particularly anticipation."
— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) May 8, 2015
McCarthy said it's too early tell if Randall and Collins are outside or inside corners. Collins had a pick-6 playing outside.
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) May 8, 2015
Also, #Packers coach Mike McCarthy still has The Beard.
— Jeff Ash (@JeffAshGB) May 8, 2015
McCarthy on Montgomery: "He has a ton of explosion. I thought he definitely stood out today."
— Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) May 8, 2015
Interesting. McCarthy said it was "probably premature" for the #Packers to give away Jarrett Bush's No. 24. Didn't rule out a return.
— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) May 8, 2015
The #Packers know what they've got in Jarrett Bush. They could always sign him a month down the road and he won't miss a beat.

Damarious Randall speaking now. Says he just has a minor ankle injury. Big crowd here... pic.twitter.com/3mGlypUfXv
