Way too early bold predictions for Packers: Allen Lazard has 1,000 receiving yards

Someone has to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers, right? Right?

Allen Lazard has developed the most trust with Rodgers outside of Cobb and will be his go-to guy this season. He only dropped 1.7 percent of his targets last season and is a sure-handed pass-catcher. He’s also a big body who can line up in the slot and use his size advantage on smaller corners.

He finished with 40 receptions for 513 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games. I expect those receptions and yards to skyrocket.
