Darrius Shepherd making a strong push for final 53

As the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver competition continues to heat up, there are a number of players battling for limited spots on the depth chart.

While the Packers did keep seven receivers last season, many have speculated that this year that number will be just six, given Matt LaFleur’s usage of the running back and tight end positions. And I tend to agree.

So at this point, we can pretty much sharpie in Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Equanimeous St. Brown as locks to make the final 53. It also seems pretty safe to say that we can add Jake Kumerow to that list as well.
