Packers: 5 secret weapons to sign in 2021 free agency
1. Duke Johnson Jr., running back
Duke Johnson Jr. could be a game-changer for the Packers. He’s a running back by name, but has a lot of traits a true wide receiver has. That’s something this current group of Packers’ running backs doesn’t have.

Johnson is just as dangerous catching passes out of the backfield as he is lining up wide and going against a cornerback or, even better, a linebacker. LaFleur would have a field day starting him in the backfield, motioning him out wide and matching him up against a poor slow-footed backer. He can also hold his own as a runner which keeps defenses off balance when he’s in the game. Johnson would be a great addition to the Packers and someone who could be had for fairly cheap.
