Of the four UCLA players drafted by Green Bay lately, three remain on the team and they share a special bond.
There has been a pipeline of sorts running across the country in recent years. In three of the last four NFL Drafts, the Green Bay Packers have selected at least one player from the University of California-Los Angeles, choosing four UCLA products over that time. And while one of those individuals was forced to retire early due to a neck injury, the other three are forming a bond that will hopefully carry each of them to new heights in their professional careers this season.
In today's Cheese Curds, we look at this storyline and much more. One of the topics that has been discussed heavily in recent days is Pro Football Focus' ranking of best and worst contracts in the NFL at different positions, and the Packers have found themselves on a "best contract" list.

A brief history of NFL players and coaches falling asleep in places they shouldn't - SBNation.com
After Louis Murphy got a little crazy and had a few too many drinks at a wedding reception, he woke up and found himself trapped in a locked museum. While it might sound like the premise of a Ben Stiller movie, people in the NFL apparently have trouble staying awake more often than you'd think.
