Aaron Rodgers is not staying around for the voluntary portions of the Green Bay Packers’ OTA’s. He was, though, in town for mandatory minicamp. It was the first time the Packers’ new wide receivers had the chance to work directly with Rodgers. In footage from the practice on Wednesday, Rodgers can be seen taking special interest in seventh round pick Samori Toure:
Found this compelling – even on a strong practice day from #Packers rookies like WR Samori Toure, Aaron Rodgers was helping newcomers and vets alike fine tune the red zone routes.
"He's just really good at the details," Toure said. "He's been really helpful to the rookies." pic.twitter.com/0FZHl3oZVe

This certainly is a different tune than the one many Packers fans are singing on social media. Aaron Rodgers has been called many things for not coming to voluntary activities. It appears that many people believe that unpaid work events should be mandatory.
Samori Toure Has Looked Great During OTA’s
In any case, Samori Toure had nothing but good things to say about how Rodgers was interacting with the rookies. Toure is a very interesting prospect. As the Packers last seventh round pick, not many were picking him to make the initial 53-man roster. However, Toure has impressed in camp thus far and appears on track to make the roster on special teams.
