What are we reading on Sports Illustrated NFL this week? 

“In a statement, Driver says he’s always enjoyed a “special bond” with Packers fans, and “can think of no better way to retire than to celebrate with them and the Packers organization.”“

“At a position dominated by the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Tony Gonzalez and Jimmy Graham, though, Pitta’s consistently improving play has flown under the radar… But the 49ers have taken notice.”

“Counting San Francisco’s two playoff wins, it has been five games since Aldon Smith recorded a sack. And yet, without question, the Baltimore Ravens will spend ample time preparing for the second-year player.”
