GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Jayrone Elliott doesn't just go by ''No. 91'' anymore in the Packers' locker room. Three sacks in four plays will help get you noticed, even by pass-rushing specialist Clay Matthews.

Elliott's dream series came in a rather meaningless fourth quarter of a 21-7 preseason win over St. Louis. But maybe, just maybe, the sequence can earn the undrafted rookie more snaps in his long-shot effort to work his way into the crowded outside linebacker rotation.

''It was just crazy, because usually you walk around and they'd be like 'What up 91?''' Elliott said Monday. ''Then they started calling me by name, and calling me 'Sackmaster.'

''So, it's just fun to joke around with Clay and (Julius Peppers), because you know Peppers never really talks to anybody,'' Elliott added with a smile.
