That stint also did not last very long for Dennard, as his NFL career practically ended in 2015. After that, he played in the AFL for the Arizona Rattlers.

Packers looking for a comeback

Meanwhile, Dennard’s former team, the Packers, are having a mixed bag of a season, as they won 3 and lost 3 games already. Despite losing three games, they are still in the second spot in the NFC North division.

Rodgers, who is possibly playing his last season with the packers is having a decent season. However, in their last game against the Jets, they were completely outplayed as they lost the game 27-10. In their next game, they will face the Washington Commanders, who are not having a great season. It’s a must-win game for the Packers if they want to keep their season alive.
