Green Bay Packers: 22-Year-Old Surfaces As Game Changer For Team
The Green Bay Packers got a much needed win on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The defense came to play as they allowed a season low three points all afternoon. Yes, it is important to note that the Packers were facing backup quarterback Brett Rypien, but anytime you hold an NFL offense to three points it is something to celebrate.
While the defense as a whole played well, a few certainly stood out. One 22-year-old played so well that he garnered praise from some of the best on the team.
Carrington Valentine made his fourth start of his career on Sunday, but his first since Rasul Douglas was traded. He produced a promising performance by breaking up three passes. The first career interception for Anthony Johnson came as a result of Darnell Savage being injured and Rudy Ford being inactive.
“Not too bad for a seventh-round pick, huh?” Valentine said of the unexpected dynamic duo.
