His passion for football and the energy he brings to work day in and day out rubbed off on Crimson Tide teammates, and even boiled over with a rabid post-game interview following a national semifinal win in the 2017 Sugar Bowl. Brown even carried over his tradition of going through his pregame warmup shirtless into his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers a year ago, to the amusement of many Packers fans and writers (this one included). Now, his work ethic has caught the eye of the team’s most important and visible player.While Aaron Rodgers weighed in on the vocal Brown, fellow second-year pro Allen Lazard is going about his business quietly and has taken a nice step towards making the team. Lazard has caught Tim Boyle’s eye frequently in camp, so now the goal is to keep making solid plays on special teams and continue with a splash play here and there on offense.We’ve got that and much more in today’s curds, including a certain Big Ten university trying to get legal protection for one of the most annoying things in sports.There’s more than meets the eye with Allen Lazard | Packers.comWhat meets the eye has been pretty impressive in training camp, as the Alien Lizard hauled in a great 27-yard touchdown last week against the Texans. He's happy about that play, but it's two mistakes that he made that are on his mind now, as he knows he'll need to clean up any issues if he wants to make the 53.Workouts and dish duty: Robert Tonyan's offseason with roommate George Kittle - ESPNTonyan and Kittle have the same agent and became friends as rookies, and when Kittle needed a roommate over the offseason, Big Bob jumped at the chance. Tonyan is apparently a bit of a neat freak -- "I'm a weirdo," he says -- so he was a model tenant.Packers CB Tony Brown receives strong praise from Aaron Rodgers | Packers WireWhen it comes to energy and work ethic, nobody on the Packers' roster seems to beat Brown, and Rodgers has taken notice. Brown will probably get some more run with the first-team defense on Thursday with Kevin King still out Josh Jones Jersey White , so it will be fun to see him go up against starting receivers.Notes: Oren Burks says no surgery for pectoral injury; Aaron Rodgers mulls helmet choice | Packersnews.comBurks says his injury is a hyperextended muscle, rather than a tear, so he’ll be out a bit but not nearly as long as the alternative. Meanwhile, Rodgers has a decision to make about which helmet to go with in 2019, and he’s torn between two different manufacturers.Antonio Brown helmet: Autograph offered for Schutt Air Advantage | SI.comSpeaking of helmets, Brown’s saga continues, as he tries to find a the Schutt AiR XP Advantage helmet from around 2010 or 2011. But he's only offering to trade another practice-worn helmet that he autographs; if you have the helmet he's looking for, I'd certainly suggest holding out for a little bit nicer compensation package.'The' Ohio State University wants to trademark the word 'THE' | NBCnews.comOkay, come on now. Just because under state law, the word "The" is in the university's official name, they should have exclusive trademark rights to it? I hope the PTO denies this request with extreme prejudice. Sorry, Corey Linsley and family — this is absurd. The NFL continues to be a passing league that prioritizes protecting quarterbacks above all else, the importance of having a top QB has never been greater. This year, there are plenty of young QBs early on their careers who are impressing around the league, and SB Nation decided to ask readers of all the network’s NFL team brands about which is their favorite.Four names showed up on this week’s FanPulse poll about which young quarterback you would rather have for the next decade. Here they are, along with their draft year and position and their 2018 stats (note that Wentz missed the Eagles’ first two games of this season).Jared Goff, Rams — 1st pick Aaron Jones Jersey White , 2016; 134-194, 1,928 yards, 12 TDs, 5 INTs; 17 carries, 51 yardsPatrick Mahomes, Chiefs — 10th pick, 2017; 135-212, 1,865 yards, 18 TDs, 4 INTs; 24 carries, 75 yards, 2 TDsDeShaun Watson, Texans — 12th pick, 2017; 140-217, 1 http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-ray-nitschke-jersey ,798 yards, 9 TDs, 7 INTs; 36 carries, 203 yards, 1 TDCarson Wentz, Eagles — 2nd pick, 2016; 108-158, 1,192 yards, 8 TDs, 1 INT; 12 carries, 58 yards(It’s a good thing that they included the qualifier “Young” in this question. With Aaron Rodgers previously stating that he would like to play well into his 40s, Packers fans might have thrown a fit if 34-year-old had been excluded.)Check out the results here. It should come as little surprise that Mahomes leads the way in this voting, given the success he has had in his first seven games as a starter and his team’s 5-1 record so far. Last year at this time, the leader would certainly have been one of the other three players, as Mahomes was sitting behind Alex Smith in Kansas City. But since taking over, the former Texas Tech Red Raider has been electric Womens Lane Taylor Jersey , throwing for over 300 yards in five straight games and tossing three or more touchdowns in four contests this year.Meanwhile, Goff leads the 6-0 Rams, but he is overshadowed on his own offense by running back Todd Gurley. Personally, he would be my second choice though, particularly in a package deal with head coach Sean McVay. Wentz’s image across the NFL may have been lessened somewhat by the fact that his backup, Nick Foles, led the Eagles to a Super Bowl title after Wentz was injured, while Watson is coming off a torn ACL and has yet to reach the pre-injury heights during his rookie year.We were also able to look at Packers fans’ responses to this question. Out of an even 100 responses, 79 went for Mahomes, with Wentz getting 11 votes, Goff six, and “other” landing four.Packers ConfidenceAs for a Packers-specific survey question, we find Green Bay fans’ confidence staying essentially steady after a week of practice leading up to their Monday night win over the 49ers. There was a slight increase in overall confidence index from 30% to 34%, but little change was expected as surveys are sent out on Monday and prior to the team’s thrilling comeback victory. Next week’s survey following the bye week should be a better indication of fans’ reactions to that game and how APC readers feel leading up to the team’s toughest stretch in 2018.Here’s a look at how the index tracks for the Packers as well as for the other teams in the NFC North. In short, all four teams stayed pretty steady from week five to week six.
