week."I think he's probably a little bit more zoned-in,"

Looking ahead to the 2019 NFL season White Jace Sternberger Jersey , the Green Bay Packers will begin to plot offseason moves to get the organization back in shape for a postseason run. Part of that planning will involve evaluation of younger players currently on the roster and Green Bay may have found a true gem with undrafted cornerback Tony Brown.The former Alabama cover man did not record an interception for the Packers this season, but he did force two fumbles while giving the team a jolt of energy on defense and special teams. Green Bay has found diamonds in the rough before and appears to have found another in Brown, who started three of the final four games.But Brown was not the only Packer to take advantage of his opportunities in the second half of the season. With the Packers’ 2018 season now in the rear view mirror, here are a few players who cashed in on their golden opportunities.Tyler LancasterThe undrafted rookie defensive tackle from Northwestern graded out very well down the stretch, becoming a dependable run defender for the Packers in the midst of injuries to Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark. After beginning on the practice squad, Lancaster made the most of his chances when called up in early October and even posted six tackles against Chicago. His ability to consistently withstand blocks from interior offensive linemen before shedding blocks and finding the ballcarrier, as seen below, truly was a bright spot in the team’s dismal ending to the season. Lancaster will enter 2019 firmly in position to earn a depth role once again and became the kind of role player the Packers hoped Montravius Adams would be.Bashaud BreelandIt took longer than anticipated for Breeland to see the field for Green Bay after signing in late September, but when he did he made an impact for Green Bay on defense and special teams. With the luster of his signing, it was easy to forget that Breeland was fighting for a future roster spot on a one-year deal. A foot injury and failed physical prevented Breeland from cashing in on the free agent market last offseason, eventually forcing him to sign for less than $1 million. A groin injury did not help Breeland’s cause during his year in Green Bay, as he played in just seven games. But Breeland showed potential in coverage by intercepting two passes, including a pick-six against Atlanta. He also played a role as a pinch kick returner. The asking price this offseason will determine Breeland’s future with the Packers, but his play on the field this season will give him a second look. Injury history might also help Green Bay re-sign the veteran to a team-friendly deal that further stabilizes the rising cornerback group.Fadol BrownClaimed off waivers from Oakland only a month ago, Brown only played in four games for the Packers. But his energy, quickness off the snap http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-hundley-jersey , and athleticism was present in flashes for Green Bay and should have another opportunity in training camp to see if he can replicate those traits.Although Lancaster’s consistency will give him a leg up, Brown’s performance in back-to-back plays against Chicago was impressive and opened some eyes. Brown’s burst inside off the snap stuffed a third down rush in the backfield. Then, another finely-shredded block on a fake punt attempt resulted in a drive-ending tackle on the next play. No, Brown is not guaranteed a roster spot next season, but he put himself on the radar in just four games.Equanimeous St. BrownMarquez Valdes-Scantling stole the show to begin the season, but St. Brown showed the best adjustment and chemistry with Aaron Rodgers by season’s end.St. Brown’s hands surprised in Green Bay after being a noticeable body-catcher in college. The Notre Dame product showed the capability to make plays on the sideline or across the middle and became more of an intermediate threat as the season progressed. He was targeted a season-high five times in two of his final five games of the season and ended his season on a good note in Week 16 with 94 receiving yards against the New York Jets.While St. Brown did not reach the end zone as a rookie, he did show signs of blossoming into a reliable third receiver in 2019. The Packers have to feel good about their first-year receiving corps despite some growing pains. St. Brown may be the best of them.Lucas PatrickRight guard will be an area the Packers look to upgrade this spring, but Patrick cemented his spot as a dependable interior depth player down the stretch. Starting the final four games of the season in the midst of injuries all along the offensive line, Patrick may not be long-term starter material, but he has a role on this team.Praised for his toughness and team-oriented nature, Patrick’s ability to back up the guard and center positions gives the Packers versatility on the line. The former tryout player has had a good run in Green Bay and really stepped up in the absence of fifth-rounder Cole Madison in 2018. Patrick’s play was as good or equal to what was seen from Justin McCray and Byron Bell earlier in the year and should be back in 2019 despite an expiring contract. Mason Crosby survived one of the worst seasons of his career by putting together five of his best.The veteran Green Bay Packers kicker isn't looking at what happened in 2012, when he made just 21 of 33 field-goal attempts, as a pathway to bouncing back from a nightmarish performance last week at Detroit.Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point, those 13 lost points looming large in a 31-23 loss Sunday. He had never missed more than two kicks in a game in his 12-year career."I look at what happened on Sunday as I'm lumping it into one kick, one entity," Crosby said Friday. "That was a game Ty Summers Jersey Mens , that was a moment, that I couldn't have ever imagined happening, but it did happen and I can learn from it. I don't reset, I don't go looking for things. It's more, all right, get back into it. What am I going to do better this week? How am I going to improve?"So far this week, it's been good getting out at practice, hitting the ball, trusting that I've done this for 12 years in the NFL and a long time before that. What went down on Sunday is unacceptable for the career I've had, but it did happen and I'm going to be better off because of it."That's what the Packers are counting on heading into Monday night's game against San Francisco.The Packers didn't bring in any veteran kickers for a workout this week. Just like in 2012, they're banking on Crosby's body of work."You talk about hitting a bump in the hit, I mean, he hit a boulder, for God's sake," coach Mike McCarthy said. "He's the same guy. He's working at it. Personally, you root for a guy like Mason because he exemplifies what a Green Bay Packer is. He'll be back to normal."Change has become the new normal for Crosby.From 2010 through 2015 Youth Ty Summers Jersey , Crosby had the same snapper (Brett Goode) and holder (Tim Masthay). This marks the third consecutive season with a new operation, with Green Bay drafting JK Scott in the fifth round to handle the punting and holding and Hunter Bradley in the seventh to handle the snapping.Bradley has had a few off-target snaps, but the snapper-holder combination wasn't to blame on any of Crosby's five missed kicks."I just couldn't find the line," Crosby said. "The ball wasn't going through. I'm not going to overreact, overthink on it. The biggest disappointment for me was not doing my job in helping this team win. I need to make those kicks to help this team win. Honestly, whenever that happens, that's what I feel the most is letting my teammates down."Special teams coordinator Ron Zook likes what he has seen this week."I think he's probably a little bit more zoned-in," he said. "Mason has always been a pro since I've been around him. I'm not one bit worried about him."NOTES: QB Aaron Rodgers was a full participant in practice after aggravating his injured left knee when tackled by Lions LB Christian Jones on the opening possession. "Kind of a step back to last week, the beginning of the week," Rodgers said. He wore a new, lighter brace in that game and hopes he'll be able to wear it again against the 49ers. ... RT Bryan Bulaga (knee) and backup Jason Spriggs (ankle) were added to the injury report as limited participation. If Bulaga plays against San Francisco, he'll line up next to RG Byron Bell, who has taken over that position for Justin McCray, who started the first three games. "Been consistent. He has a lot of experience," coach Mike McCarthy said.
