GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers released receiver Amari Rodgers on Tuesday, the latest in a string of bad third-round draft picks by a team that calls the NFL Draft the backbone of its roster building.
Of the 41 players drafted in the third round in 2021, few contributed less than Rodgers, who was claimed off waivers by the Houston Texans on Wednesday. This season, seven of those third-round picks have started every game and 21 players have started at least one game. In their two seasons, 19 players have started at least 10 games.
