4. Fits the new profile.

Clark (6-foot-6), Allison (6-foot-3), Davis (6-foot-1), Valdes-Scantling (6-foot-3), J’Mon Moore (6-foot-3) and St. Brown (6-foot-5) all embody the type of receiver Green Bay is looking for in today’s game. And Bryant (6-foot-2) fits that style as well.

Bryant’s never been a player who can create a lot of separation with his speed, instead, relying on his leaping ability, strong hands and big frame to keep cornerbacks out of the picture when the ball is in the air.

That’s certainly a technique the Packers are looking for from their new receivers and Bryant would fit in well with that picture. He could also teach the youngsters a thing or two about using their body. If this is the new receiver type the Packers are looking for, Bryant checks all the boxes.
