Different ways the Packers can get Amari Rodgers touches as a rookie

The Green Bay Packers have high expectations for rookie wide receiver Amari Rodgers. A third-round pick in this year’s draft, Rodgers might already be one of the most versatile players on the roster. The Packers should be able to explore the pass catcher’s wide-ranging skillset and maximize his potential early on.

It can be hard for rookie wide receivers to hit the ground running, especially in Green Bay. There are so many nuances and concepts to grasp that even finding consistent playing time can be difficult. Then there is actually having the ball thrown your way, which is a whole different story with an untrusting Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback.

However, if Aaron is the Packers quarterback in 2021, all hope is not lost for Rodgers. The former Clemson Tiger shined while playing with an NFL-level quarterback in Trevor Lawrence.

Perhaps, Rodgers won’t make a profound impact right away, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have a bright future. It will largely be up to the coaching staff on how soon they can unlock his great potential.

Matt LaFleur and the rest of the offensive coaching staff are probably cooking up ways to implement their new weapon. In the meantime, let’s explore some of the different ways Green Bay can get Rodgers the ball next season.
