Blazing-fast wide receivers for Packers: Tavon Austin

The Packers already tried the Tavon Austin experiment for a quarter of the season in 2020. He then moved on to the Jaguars in 2021–his third team in as many years–and finished the season with 24 receptions for 213 yards and one touchdown.

He’s not nearly as explosive as he was early in his career, but could still provide a horizontal threat for Green Bay. Head coach Matt LaFleur loves to run his guys across the field and Austin could handle that role. He could also be a motion man out of the backfield.
