Wide receiver Packers should target in free agency: Curtis Samuel

This would be a homerun swing for Green Bay if they went this direction in free agency. Curtis Samuel is the youngest guy on this list at 24-years-old and may have one of the highest ceilings.

A former second-round pick of the Carolina Panthers, Samuel finally got things going last season when he racked up 77 receptions for 851 yards (both career-highs) and three touchdowns. He also added 41 rushes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. LaFleur would love to use Samuel in that Tyler Ervin role that runs back and forth across the formation before the snap and takes some handoffs from Aaron Rodgers. They lost that weapon went Ervin went down last year and weren’t really able to replace it with Tavon Austin.
