Kalyn Kahler looks at storylines from her visit to Packers training camp for The MMQB. After another rehash of Aaron Rodgers' disdain for media outlets making too much of his relationship with new coach Matt LaFleur, Kahler notes the positive things the quarterback is saying about a new addition to the offensive line.
