The Green Bay Packers first day of training camp is in the books and quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows how good this team can be. However, he also knows there more than a few experts who are not giving the Packers much love this offseason because there were a lot of changes made to the coaching staff and the roster.

That doesn't both Rodgers one bit. In fact, the two-time MVP talked to his former teammate James Jones, who now works for the NFL Network, and he likes it when Packers don't get a lot of attention before and even during the season.

"When you have a coaching change, you have to go through the struggles of learning and starting over almost," Rodgers said. "But I think what Brian [Gutekunst] has done our roster and the guys that we have coming back, I think we have a chance to compete. We're in a good spot too because nobody's talking about us."

"Some of the most dangerous teams from our years were when everybody's talking about every other team out there except for us and we can kinda come at our own pace and surprise some people in the beginning."

When it comes to predictions, the Packers are a team that is all over the board because there is a level of uncertainty with a new head coach and a new offensive scheme. Rodgers was playing in the same system for the last 13 years so learning a new offense can be challenging. But Rodgers also knows the offense can do some damage once everyone is on the same page.

"I am excited about it," Rodgers said to Chris Simms of NBC Sports. "The most important thing with change is to embrace it. Being comfortable with the uncomfortable parts of it. When you've been in a system for so long, you have a way of doing things. The first part is being open to [change]."

"That's what I told [LaFleur] day one. I said, 'I wanna be coached.'"

There have been previous reports about Rodgers not being coachable and it looks like that's not the case with him and LaFleur. Rodgers has seen LaFleur's offense in the past and he knows the type of damage it can cause against opposing defenses.

"The scheme works," Rodgers said. "The stuff they did against us this year against San Fran was unbelievable. We were watching on the sidelines going, 'That's pretty cool.'"

Along with a new offense, the Packers added three top defensive veteran players in free agency and two top defensive players via the NFL Draft. So the Packers look to make strides on defense after finishing 18th in yards allowed last year.

The Packers are not getting the same attention as the Chicago Bears who are the favorites to win the NFC North again. However, that might just be exactly how Rodgers and the rest of the Packers want it.
