The Green Bay Packers have moved on from multiple veterans over the recent years. Their moves ushered in a brand new era for the Packers.
Many of those veterans are currently playing elsewhere in the league. However, one may already be planning his post-NFL life.
Former Green Bay Packers Starter May Pursue The Olympics In The Future
Former Wide Receiver Allen Lazard took to Twitter (X) to announce he may want to try his hand in the Olympics:
I might have to try out for the USA handball team when I’m done with football so I can be an Olympian
The official definition of Hand Ball according Britannica:
Team handball, game played between two teams of 7 or 11 players who try to throw or hit an inflated ball into a goal at either end of a rectangular playing area while preventing their opponents from doing so. It is unrelated to the two- or four-player games (see handball and fives), in which a small hard ball is hit against one or more walls.
A game consists of two 30-minute halves with an intermission, and players wear no protective equipment. The ball is moved by passing, dribbling, or hitting it with any part of the body above the knee. In handball, only the goalkeeper may kick the ball. Running more than three steps with the ball and holding it longer than three seconds are illegal.
It would certainly be interesting to see a former Packers player in the Olympics in such a different sport.
