James Starks still pushing for starting job

While RB Ryan Grant has the early lead for the Packers’ starting RB job, James Starks has been impressive in his own right during the 1st week of camp.  "He’s as explosive as he was in the playoffs," HC Mike McCarthy said. "You saw James Starks at 100 percent in the playoffs. He is a little bigger… I think he looks more powerful than he did last year. He puts his foot down and gets to that second level. He’s had a very good camp. He came in great shape."  Starks will need to rip the starting job away from Grant, but it sounds like he could be up to the task.  This remains one of the most intriguing training camp battles in the entire league.
