Morning Buzz: Packers' Kenny Clark a young star in the making

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with Stu Courtney’s look at the running back group for our positional preview series.

From Stu:

A year ago, converted wide receiver Ty Montgomery had a firm hold on the starting job. Montgomery transitioned into a running back during the 2016 season and offered a glimpse of his potential when he rushed for 162 yards in a December game at Chicago.

But Montgomery played sparingly in 2017 after being injured in a Week 4 victory over the Bears. He had only 71 carries for 273 yards and three touchdowns in eight games before being placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Next to be thrust into the spotlight was rookie Aaron Jones, a fifth-round draft pick out of Texas-El Paso, who showed dazzling explosiveness, rushing for 125 yards and a TD in his first start a week later at Dallas and 131 yards and a score two games later against New Orleans. But two weeks after that, Jones suffered an MCL injury at Chicago and yielded the starting job to fellow rookie Jamaal Williams.

A fourth-round pick out of BYU, Williams entered the season as the primary backup and stepped in first when Montgomery went down against the Bears. But a knee injury sidelined him in that same game and gave Jones his chance. When Jones was injured during the rematch against the Bears, Williams finally got the opportunity to show what he could do.
