Packers Morning Buzz: Which rookies will make immediate impact?

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Dan Parr of NFL.com ranking the top 25 rookies with the best chance for making an immediate impact. Rashan Gary, the Packers' first pick at No. 12 overall, is notably absent from this list but Darnell Savage, Green Bay's second first-round selection at No. 21, makes it along with fellow safety Nasir Adderley of the Los Angeles Chargers.

And since comparisons between Savage and the relative of former Packers great Herb Adderley are likely to always be made, here's what Parr says about both:

11) Nasir Adderley, S, Los Angeles Chargers: Sure, he's making the leap from the FCS ranks and wasn't the most consistent guy in coverage at Delaware, but he's also a certified ballhawk. Adderley is going to be fun to watch playing center field in Gus Bradley's defense. People are already getting Earl Thomas-Kam Chancellor vibes from the pairing of Adderley with Derwin James.

15) Darnell Savage, S, Green Bay Packers: Similar to Adderley, the table is set for Savage to feast in the secondary as a rookie. He'll be a ballhawk in center field, using his combination of quickness and instincts to be a thorn in the side of offenses.
