Rodgers And Other Packers Rookies Have Words For Bryant...

Over on our fast-paced Twitter feed, we've had a nice little back-and-forth on the refusal of Dallas Cowboys rookie Dez Bryant to carry the helmet of veteran receiver (and former Detroit Lion) Roy Williams in training camp.

Rodgers

My own feeling is that Bryant needs to lighten up and understand that carrying a helmet is less about hazing and more about showing respect for established teammates who are welcoming you to their circle. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12), responding to a follower's question about Bryant, was more blunt: "I'd tell him he needs to pay his dues n fall in line."

Rodgers also tweeted: "Every rookie gets hazed. There should be a rite of passage" and added:

Picking up some dinner bills, having a few pranks pulled on u n, doing some odd jobs for the vets is a small price to pay to gain respect 26 Jul 2010 from Twitterrific

No ones gonna get taped to a goalpost in gb or beat up but young guys should show some respect to the older guys and being a good rookie... 26 Jul 2010 from Twitterrific

Means keeping quiet n being in the right place at the right time n showing respect to the vets as long as it's appropriate 26 Jul 2010 from Twitterrific

And in case you're wondering, at least two Packers rookies were listening. Here's what defensive lineman Micheal Neal (@mneal96), Green Bay's No. 2 draft choice, tweeted: "yes sir!"

Offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga (@Bbulaga), the Packers' first-round pick, added: "agreed... words of wisdom right there."

Aaron Rodgers seems like one of those guy who needs to learn to stay out of other teams business.

Talk about the Packers. While I agree with his opinion here, it's not his issue... So just don't talk about it. Keep your nose clean

aaron Rodgers needs to focus on the packers, on making the playoffs and not Dallas business

He has good points...but it isn't his business to discuss.

i believe they did last year.

If someone asked him what he thinks about the Bryant situation, that's cool, but if he's twittering that for no reason out of the blue, it's kind of silly. Just worry about the Pack.

Terrell Owens Jr. needs to learn the way things are done in the NFL. I dont know who this punk thinks he is.

im starting to hate rodgers, he talks way to much. STFU already. there have been like 4-5 threads about rodgers saying something abt some1 or some team.
