Blue 58 goes beyond the headlines to help you become a smarter fan of the Green Bay Packers. Hosted by former WTMJ newscaster Jon Meerdink and his friend Gary Zilavy, Blue 58 brings you a unique, upbeat perspective on your favorite NFL team, as long as that team is the Packers.

This week on Blue 58, training camp hasn’t even started yet and one player is already off the board for Week 1. How will that affect position battles? We’ll also take a look at some of the major storylines as we head into 2017. Plus, who would try to rank the 400 best players in the NFL?

Here are the headlines we talked about this week on Blue 58.

Main Topic - 2017 Storylines
