Don't be confused by an article you may have read over at Packers Gab saying that DeShawn Wynn has "locked down" the job as the third string running back.

"According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, DeShawn Wynn appears to have locked down the job as the Packers’ third running back," writes Matt Loede.

Locked down the job? In June? Doubtful.

That's what training camp is for, locking down jobs. It's unlikely that anybody down as low as third on the depth chart has locked down anything yet. Let's wait until August before making leaps like that.

Attributing such information to the Green Bay Press-Gazette was a mistake as well. The Press-Gazette and reporter Pete Dougherty made no such claim.

In the article Packers Gab is assumed to have gotten their information from, Dougherty writes, "If DeShawn Wynn continues to show the professionalism he has this offseason, he’ll be the front-runner over Kregg Lumpkin for the No. 3 halfback job because he’s the more gifted ball carrier."

Considering the way Wynn ended the 2008 season with a 100-yard rushing performance compared to the way Lumpkin ended  his on injured reserve, it's not a stretch to say Wynn will be the "front-runner" for the job.

As any smart coach would do, give everyone a chance to win a roster spot during training camp when the pads go on. A common refrain during OTAs and mini-camp was that it was hard to learn anything about the players without pads.

Al Bracco of Packers Lounge did a nice job dissecting why Lumpkin might have a say in winning a roster berth this season.

And don't forget undrafted rookie running back Tyrell Sutton either. It's possible that the rookie might be more suited to the third down-type of role than any other running back on the team.
