The Green Bay Packers filled their biggest offensive need when they selected running back Eddie Lacy in the second round, then doubled down and took Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Much was made of the Franklin pick signifying that the Packers aren't completely sold on Lacy's durability. The two are expected to compete for carries -- and possibly -- the starting job. At this weekend's rookie minicamp, the duo is mixing friendship with competition. "We're roommates in the hotel, we talk. But we're going to have to compete," Lacy said Saturday, via ESPN Milwaukee. "It's just like when you're in college -- you get there, you meet the other running backs, you're all friends but you have to compete. It's no different here." Franklin echoed the former Alabama running back's sentiments. Franklin said, "On the field, we're competing definitely. But off the field, we're definitely buddies. But we're here to help each other grow and push each other to get better." Source: NFL.com
