Love's Deep Ball, Bullard's INT Highlight Action-Packed Packers Practice

A few observation from coverage of Wednesday's minicamp practice. 

The Green Bay Packers wrapped up another lively day of minicamp work on Wednesday during a practice held inside the Don Hutson Center due to a significant storm passing through the area.

Jordan Love delivered one of the plays of practice. During an 11-on-11 period, Love sold a handoff to Josh Jacobs, rolled hard to his left, and then uncorked a deep strike all the way across the field to Jayden Reed down the right sideline. Reed had created separation from Evan Williams, and the perfectly placed throw likely would have resulted in a 70-yard touchdown in a game setting.

Love wasn't perfect, however. A few plays after the bomb to Reed, Javon Bullard got the better of him, coming down with an interception near the sideline on a ball intended for Christian Watson.

Speaking of Watson, he and rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse reportedly put together one of the most entertaining one-on-one reps of the day. Cisse played outstanding coverage, but Watson ran a flawless comeback route and Love dropped the ball into the only spot where Watson could make the catch.

Elsewhere, rookie quarterback Kyron Drones had a promising stretch, completing three consecutive passes during team drills, including a beautiful double-move connection with undrafted wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant.

The somewhat forgotten Lucas Haverisk was perfect on the day, drilling all eight of his field-goal attempts from distances ranging from 33 to 58 yards.

Meanwhile, kick coverage units consistently won their reps, with Bullard, Arron Mosby and Nick Niemann all making quick stops while racing downfield.

A few other notes: Jaden Nixon flashed impressive burst both as a returner and runner, Dani Dennis-Sutton generated pressure after beating John Williams inside, and Williams continued to rotate with Jager Burton with the first-team offense at left guard.

It's only minicamp, but it sure feels like several young Packers players are making sure they aren't overlooked.
