3. Wide Receiver

Wide receiver is going to be equally as crazy as cornerback, except for there will be numerous players vying for one (maybe two) spot. Davante Adams and Randall Cobb are already locked in as the top two receivers, with “tight end” Jimmy Graham set to get a lot of run as well.

With Michael Clark suddenly and surprisingly retiring, that leaves about four players vying for the third and fourth receiver spots. “Veteran” Geronimo Allison likely has the lead heading into camp, given his experience and rapport with Aaron Rodgers. However, J’Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown will be hot on his heels. Trevor Davis and De’Angelo Yancey are also out there, however unlikely their chances.

Given Rodgers’ penchant for spreading the ball around, the third receiver is going to be incredibly important in the upcoming season. If he can prove to get open and catch the ball, he’ll likely see a decent amount of targets coming his way.
