Now, life goes on. So, what do we have at wide receiver?
Two starters:
Randall Cobb - 5'10" - 192 lbs - Year 8
Davante Adams - 6'1" - 215 lbs - Year 5
Returners:
Geronimo Allison - 6'3" - 202 lbs - Year 3
Trevor Davis - 6'1" - 188 lbs - Year 3
DeAngelo Yancey - 6'1" - 220 lbs - Year 1
New Comers:
Adonis Jennings - 6'2" - 203 lbs - Rookie
Jake Kumerow - 6'4" - 209 lbs - Year 1
Kyle Lewis - 5'11" - 203 lbs - Rookie
JMon Moore - 6'3" - 205 lbs - Rookie
Equaunimeous St. Brown - 6'5" - 214 lbs - Rookie
Marquez Valdes-Scantling - 6'4" - 206 lbs - Rookie
First our starters, Adams & Cobb. They both have had success. They both have been injury prone. They have ONE big thing going for them, Aaron Rodgers is their QB! With Brett Hundley our wide receivers were very average! Adams is the 7th highest paying wide receiver in the NFL - $14.5 million a year! Randall Cobb is the 18th highest paying wide receiver in the NFL - $10 million! So, as wide receivers go, the Adams & Cobb duo, should PROVE they are worth the $$$$. By the way, one BIG reason that Jordy Nelson is gone, he was making around $10 million a year and NO NFL team has three receivers making over $10 million a piece!!!
The new third starter? Right now, Geronimo Allison is getting a look! Big target, has good size & speed, will he catch the ball??? In his third year, this is the year do stake his claim on the #3 receiver!!! This is another reason to watch pre-season games! The biggest issue with our receivers - do they have the ability to separate from defensive backs?
Trevor Davis has been given opportunities on special teams. And, has had a few chances at wide receiver. From, my eye ball test, Davis is replaceable! Has good speed, but not scary speed.
DeAngelo Yancey has been on the roster. He has played behind Allison & Yancey. Has he improved enough to move ahead of Allison & Yancey? Another reason to watch pre-season games!
And the rookies! Just so happened, just today, Aaron Rodgers jumped all over the rookies!!!!

Of the six receivers, Jake Kumerow, is getting a lot of positive remarks! He is not really a rookie, was part of a few practice squads last year. In practice, he has turned some heads! Has great genetics! Father was drafted & played for the Dolphins! His cousins, the Bosa brothers out of Ohio State, have moved on to the NFL! So, remember the name, maybe we can go from "Jordy to Jake?"!
Jordy
to
Jake?
