Lots of reasons why Packers moved up to grab Clemson receiver

The Green Bay Packers traded up seven picks in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, to grab Clemson wide receiver Amari Rodgers.

Why did the Packers move up seven spots to get the All-ACC wide receiver? Because they wanted to get quarterback Aaron Rodgers a weapon they believe can be another Randall Cobb.

“Aaron Rodgers loved Randall Cobb. Loved him,” NFL Network host Kay Adams said Tuesday on Good Morning Football.

Cobb played with Rodgers from 2011-2018. The Kentucky product was on the All-Rookie team in 2011 and played in the 2014 Pro Bowl.
