The Green Bay Packers have one of the NFL‘s best offenses, but they have not had notable production from the tight end position since a severe neck injury ended Jermichael Finley’s career during the 2013 season. Andrew Quarless took over as the Packers’ No. 1 tight end last year, starting 11 games, but late in the season and into the playoffs he basically split snaps equally with rookie Richard Rodgers.
His regular season stats (20 receptions for 225 yards and two touchdowns) don’t jump off the page, but over the final four games of last season (counting the playoffs) Rodgers had 12 receptions for 101 yards with a touchdown while being targeted at least three times in three of those games.
