Billy Turner's positivity has been contagious for Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- William "Billy" Turner fell into a "dark place" after he was cut by the Miami Dolphins in 2016.

But the offensive guard knew he had to get out of it if he was going to reach his full potential as a player and as a man.

Over the last three-plus years Turner's mission has been to spread positive energy.

That energy has been contagious for the NFC's No. 2-seed Green Bay Packers who signed the 6-foot-5, 310-pound guard in March.

Turner and the team have a bye for the wild-card round.
