Packers S M.D. Jennings is one of the new characters in the Packers secondary.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Randall Cobb doesn't want to be a kick returner forever. But for now, getting the ball on special teams is another way for the Packers' speedy second-year receiver to show his versatility and be a threat in multiple ways."Hopefully at some point I've validated myself as a receiver where a younger guy can take over that role at some point,"...

The 49ers, who boasted one of the NFL's stingiest defenses last year, appear to have fulfilled their needs by adding playmakers on offense. The Packers still have concerns in their secondary, but somehow found a way to better an...
