Packers linebacker Nick Barnett and receiver Donald Driver returned to full contact workouts for the first time since having arthroscopic knee surgeries during the offseason. Always a fan favorite, Driver drew applause nearly every time he touched the ball. “They felt fine,†Driver said. “I didn’t have any problems cutting today. … No one got to see me during (organized team activity workouts) or minicamp, so it was fun to get back on the field and put the pads on, and the helmet, and catch balls and run routes. Basically just being with the team and getting in the flow of things. When you do that you give the fans what they want. You catch a couple balls … run down the field full speed, they believe that you’ve still got it. To me, that’s all that matters.†Neither Barnett or Driver showed any signs of lingering effects from surgery. Source: Green Bay Press Gazette
