Jimmy Graham will have the biggest impact of any of the acquisitions for the Packers this season. The two sides agreed to a three year, $30 million deal with a potential out for Green Bay after the 2019 season.

With the loss of Jordy Nelson and the outside wide receiver spot opposite Davante Adams a complete mess, Graham is going to be relied upon to do what he does best. Catch passes.

He’s mostly a tight end only by name, but his game is tailored as a jumbo-size slot receiver. Even at 31-years-old, he’s too fast for most linebackers and too big (6-foot-7, 265 pounds) for most defensive backs.

Rodgers has probably never had a weapon like Graham even dating back to the Jermichael Finley days. However, if we think back to how Rodgers used Finley, he loved to find him over the middle of the field and throw jump balls to him. Graham should excel in that role and give Rodgers a mismatch nightmare.
