Capers says #Packers S Morgan Burnett could play dime linebacker role down the road. "I think he can play two or three positions."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 29, 2016

Capers says Burnett has hybrid safety skillset: "I don't think there's any question that he does. He's got good size, and he can run."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 29, 2016

Capers says he is impressed with #Packers rookie ILB Blake Martinez' maturity. He has shined with first-team reps this offseason.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 29, 2016

Capers on Martinez' development: "I don't think the mental part of it is going to be a problem." Could be clear sign for early playing time.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 29, 2016

Capers asked if #Packers are good enough at ILB for Clay Matthews to be full-time OLB: "We'll have to figure that out as we go along."

Associate head coach/offense Tom Clements gives context to Davante Adams' poor season and has high praise for backup quarterback Brett Hundley.

Clements on Hundley: Want him to be a master of the system, but he’s not there yet. Working toward that. He asks Aaron good questions.
