2. Rodgers’ weapons

Out of all of the receivers on the Packers roster, all but two have three or fewer years of NFL experience.

Randall Cobb is entering his eighth year in the league and Davante Adams is entering year five. The next most experienced man is Geronimo Allison, who has two years in the league. However, he and Rodgers have noticeably created a nice chemistry over his two seasons.

Adams has arguably become a top-tier receiver in the league thanks to his consistency over the last few seasons.

Besides the projected top three in Adams, Cobb and Allison, there are three exciting rookies, all of whom 6-foot-3 or taller, set to start their careers in Green Bay. J’Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St.Brown all have a opprotunity to make an impact in their rookie seasons.

However, Rodgers targets don’t stop there.

As we all know, Jimmy Graham signed with the Packers in the offseason, giving Rodgers a real threat at tight end for the first time in quite awhile. Marcedes Lewis also signed in the offseason, adding depth along side of Graham and Lance Kendricks.

Even out of the backfield, Montogmery, Williams and Jones can all be threats in the passing game. Montgomery, of course, is a former wide receiver and still possesses all of the tools any receiver must have.

Bottom line, no matter where Rodgers looks between receivers, tight ends and his running backs, he has reliable and talented hands from top to bottom.
