Packers draft Amari Rodgers: The bad

Rodgers doesn’t have the elite physical traits Green Bay typically targets at the position. He only ran a 4.52 40-yard dash and nothing other than his bench press was considered good according to his Relative Athletic Score. When you combine that with his lack of height–5-foot-10–life could be difficult for him in the NFL.

These testing measure also show up on the field where he struggles to gain separation from defenders when running his routes. He also can’t win contested catches and needs to learn how to use his great strength to his advantage more. Lastly, he’ll probably never be an outside wide receiver.
