High-risk, high-reward wide receiver for Packers in free agency: David Moore

David Moore is the definition of a boom or bust wide receiver and he proved that with the Seattle Seahawks. He had eight games where he hauled in two or fewer receptions and three separate contests where he hauled in at least 54 receiving yards. He finished the season with 35 receptions for 417 yards and six touchdowns–on par with his breakout second season.

Perhaps, even more impressive was his ability to make spectacular grabs look routine. He had a number of highlight-reel grabs from Russell Wilson and often made his quarterback look good in the process. Considering Valdes-Scantling is the only deep threat on the Packers’ roster, adding someone like David Moore is attractive in that regard.
