At least one writer in Pittsburgh thinks Hakeem needs to rally to make the roster:

"I'm very much intrigued by [Butler's] size and ability to make the highlight reel catch, but his inconsistency on routine plays is troubling. He's a hard guy to quit. That's why several NFL teams have given him a shot. I just don't see it though."

Yep... tough to play WR at the highest level if you have trouble catching the football.

Obviously he can catch... I think it's all about concentration for him. Stinks. So much talent.

Anyone heard how Ant has looked otherwise? That seems like a strong showing otherwise last night. Does he have a legit shot at making that team?

They have a bunch of underwhelming options for the 2nd starting safety. I think he is still a long shot.

I only caught the fourth qtr last night but he had a nice game and the announcers even said at the end “we’ve been saying this guys name all night.” I though he looked good in the action I’ve caught but admittedly don’t follow the packers.

What makes you say that? Not arguing at all, genuinely curious.
My Packer buddy said the signed some veteran safety and if he is the starter, my buddy would be extremely disappointed. I have read a few articles mentioning four or five different safety options that did not include Johnson.

I am hoping Johnson is flying under the radar and has the coaches in love with him even if the media is overlooking him.

Would think some strong showings will help him and maybe force their hand. Kind of like Hummel with the Rams.
