Packers 53-man roster predictions after first week of training camp
Special teams (3)
Kicker: Mason Crosby
Punter: JK Scott
Long snapper: Hunter Bradley
Entering his 12th season with the Green Bay Packers, Mason Crosby has nothing to prove at training camp. Barring the 2012 season, when Crosby converted a career-low 63.6 percent of his field goal attempts, he has been as consistent as they come.
The only question marks with the kicking game this offseason have been with the snapper and holder. The Packers have two rookies — long snapper Hunter Bradley and punter JK Scott — taking on those duties. The understanding between a snapper, holder and kicker should never be underestimated.
But so far, the trio seem to be on the same page.
One thing that has been forgotten with all of the injury news is how well Mason Crosby is kicking with a new holder (J.K. Scott) and two new snappers (Hunter Bradley and Zach Triner). Crosby is the No. 2 paid kicker in the league — and he’s playing like it.

Scott, a surprising fifth-round pick back in April’s draft, has been impressive at training camp, according to various reports.
The big question now is who will return kicks and punts?
The three players returning punts early on at training camp? Trevor Davis, Quinten Rollins and Tramon Williams, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
I like Davis’ chances of winning the job, which is a key reason why he’ll make the 53-man roster.

The Packers are in good shape on special teams. While the team doesn’t plan to punt too often this season, reports of Scott punting well at training camp are encouraging.
