The Green Bay Packers are entering the 2022 with a great deal of optimism. Despite losing Davante Adams via trade to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Packers boast an offense and defense that both earned top-10 offseason rankings. In order for the team to live up to these high expectations, they will need several players to step up and make improvements from last season. Here, I present three players that I believe will break out in 2022 and become major contributors. #1- Allen Lazard There has been a lot of speculation over whether or not Allen Lazard will be able…

That Rowdy Tellez trade is really working out for the Milwaukee Brewers. Almost one year ago now, the Brewers traded Trevor Richards and Bowden Francis to the Toronto Blue Jays for the veteran first baseman. Since joining the club, Tellez has become a cult hero in Milwaukee, garnering chants of “Rowdy, Rowdy, Rowdy” similar to how Milwaukee Bucks’ hero Bobby Portis gets chants of “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.” In Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays, Tellez gave fans plenty to cheer and chant about. Rowdy Tellez Hit Two Home Runs Rowdy Tellez went 2-4 on the day with two home…

The Milwaukee Bucks did not have a second round pick of their own in the 2022 NBA Draft.

However, as Shams Chariana of The Athletic Tweeted, the Bucks traded for the 58th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft from the Indiana Pacers. They used that pick to select 6’4″ point guard Hugo Besson. Who Is Hugo Besson? Hugo Besson is just 21 years old, but has been playing professional basketball since 2018.

In 2018, his first season as general manager, Gutekunst selected Jaire Alexander, who has become arguably the best cornerback in the NFL. In 2019, the Packers had two first round draft picks. Gutekunst used these on Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage. Both of these players have become important fixtures in the Packers defense. In the past two NFL Drafts, the Packers have used their first round picks on Georgia defensive players Eric Stokes, Quay Walker, and Devonte Wyatt.…
