The Green Bay Packers’ faith in Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been unwavering this year, even through some major ups and downs. The third-year receiver looked headed for a tertiary role in the offense heading into the season, but some injuries — including Allen Lazard’s core injury — thrust him into a more prominent role. He has alternately dropped the ball and delivered on his promise, with Sunday’s game in Detroit marking his most impressive overall game as a pro.
But perhaps his most important catch in 2020 came in training camp. On Wednesday in a media interview over Zoom, quarterback Aaron Rodgers singled out one specific throw to MVS in training camp as the moment that it all came together for him, serving as a turning point and solidifying all of the offseason work in his mind.
