Packers 2021 Roster - Wide Receivers

 Of all the positions on the offensive side of the ball, this one could be fun!!!!

Davante Adams     6'1" - 215 lbs - Year 8

Reggie Begelton     6'0" - 200 lbs - Year 1

Chris Blair     6'2" - 198 lbs - Rookie

Randall Cobb     5'10" - 195 - Year 11

Devin Funchess     6'4" - 225 lbs - Year 6

Allan Lazard     6'5" - 227 lbs - Year 3

Amari Rodgers     5'9" - 212 lbs - Rookie

Equanimeous St. Brown     6.5" - 214 lbs - Year 4

Malik Taylor     6'1" - 220 lbs - Year 2

DeAndre Thompkins     5'11" - 188 lbs - Year 1

Marquez Valdes-Scantling     6'4" - 206 lbs - Year 4

Juan Winfree      6'1" - 210 lbs - Year 2

Bailey Gaither     6"0" - 188 lbs - Rookie

13 receivers - usually 5-6 make the final 53 man roster, so.........

1 - Davante Adams, a NO BRAINER!  In my book, a top 3 in the league.  Versatility  - dangerous short or long passes, great hands, great router runner & durability!

115 receptions - 1374 yards - 18 TD's

Expect another great year from Davante!

2 - Allan Lazard 33 receptions - 451 yards - 3 TD's & 

Marquez Valdes-Scantling 33 receptions - 690 yards - 6 TD's

These two had nice years last year - Lazard great possession receiver & clutch!  VS, speed to get over the top & his hands have improved each year!  It would be nice to see one go over 1000 yards this year!

3 - Randall Cobb & Amari Rodgers - this is interesting.  Is Cobb there to make Rodgers happy so he has someone to spin the ball in the end zone?  Is Cobb there to tutor Amari Rodgers?  Probably BOTH!  I have NOTHING but respect for Cobb - he is the ultimate professional - he is a Packer at heart with great previous years - he can also help with special teams.  The BIG question, is he really better than the many other young receivers trying to make this team??  Amari Rodgers should be fun!  With the LaFleur offense with a lot of motion & creativity, Rodgers should be a young wild card!

4 - Equanimeous St. Brown or Devin Funchess??  To receivers with an puzzling future!  St. Brown, starting Year 4, is at the crossroads!  Funchess, choosing not to play last year because of COVID, a veteran in year 6.  This will be fascinating.

5 - And the others, Begelton, Blair, Taylor, Tompkins, Winfree, & Gaither.  I would put these players at a very slim chance to make the 53.  Maybe 2-3 on the practice squad!

Let's make an early prediction:

Adams, Lazard, Valdes-Scantling, Funchess, Rodgers & ................. yes Cobb!  6 receivers!
