NFL schedules get off to strong starts with Week 1 twinbills
An additional week of regular-season games will benefit NFL fans right from the start. In order to keep an equal number of doubleheaders between CBS and Fox, the league has decided to make Week 1 a doubleheader for both networks, which is also what they do on the final week. Blake Jones of the league's scheduling department said the success of the doubleheaders during the final week was one of the driving forces behind adding it to the opening week.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Aaron Rodgers has to be pumped. Stokes ran a blistering 40-yard dash (4.29 seconds), is regarded as smart and versatile. But he also needs some technique work, can be grabby and isn’t yet a finished product. Stokes going ahead of Tyson Campbell, his Georgia teammate, is interesting. Other teams had it the other way around and gave Stokes mostly second- and third-round grades. He has potential but might start out in a sub-package role.

Over Creed Humphrey and Quinn Meinerz? We don’t love it. Myers is very tough and smart, and he’ll immediately help the run game if he wins a starting role, either at guard or center. There were some times when his pass protection was sub-par. Will be play center? Will Aaron Rodgers be there to receive his snaps? So many questions in Green Bay.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Cue the A. Rodgers/wide receiver jokes here. The 5-9, 210-pound Rodgers is a squarely built slot receiver in a running back’s body who took his game to another level in 2020 as Trevor Lawrence’s best receiving option. Rodgers might never be a star, but like Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery before him, he fits Green Bay’s profile and could be tried as a receiver or possibly a back. He plays hard, has sneaky quickness and speed and could be a really useful addition.
