Cheese Curds, 7/9: Can Packers’ Bo Melton break out in crowded receiver room?

We learned a lot about Packers wide receiver Bo Melton last season, not the least of which was that his actual name is Miles Bokeem Melton. Sorry, I can’t help pointing that out every chance I get – what a name!

The former Seattle Seahawks 7th-round pick and practice squad player arrived in Green Bay with little fanfare. Still, he ultimately did turn a few heads after finishing the season with a 13.6 yards-per-reception average and one touchdown in just 5 appearances. It turns out the combination of being fast, reliable, and—crucially—typically disregarded by the defense may make you a valuable asset.
