With the Packers preseason getting ready to start in one week, now is the perfect time to look back on what the team's colorful characters have been doing in the offseason to prepare for the upcoming season.
Aaron Rodgers: Appeared on Jeopardy
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared on (and won) an episode of “Celebrity Jeopardy” against “Shark Tank” entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary and astronaut Captain Mark Kelly.
Watch him dominate the aptly named "Leader of the Pack" category below.
Clay Matthews and the Packers defense:
Made a cameo in Pitch Perfect 2
While the leader of the Packer offense was winning Celebrity Jeopardy, the defense was in Hollywood singing and dancing in “Pitch Perfect 2.”
Star linebacker Clay Matthews can be seen below singing “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child.
Eddie Lacy: Became a lumberjack
Running back Eddie Lacy spent part of his summer in the Wisconsin Dells for the Paul Bunyan Northwood's Lumberjack Show. This was a part of the Gatorade “Beat the Heat” campaign. Lacy’s best event was the ax throw, while his worst was climbing the pole.
Jordy Nelson: Spent time helping the children of Wisconsin
The Packers' top wide receiver participated in the “Fill the Helmet” campaign for the National Child ID program. This program is in conjunction with the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin and helps raise money for Child Identification Kits distribution for Wisconsin schools.

John Kuhn: Hosted a radio show
Fan favorite fullback John Kuhn spent his offseason hosting a Sirius XM radio show about football, of course. Kuhn joined “The Opening Drive” with Alex Marvez.
Hopefully all of the Packer players' newly discovered talents will come in handy on the football field this season. The Packers first preseason game is August 13th against the Tom Brady-less Patriots.
