John Lovett Provides Insurance at a Key Position

The Packers need a wide receiver! Green Bay has to sign a defensive lineman! What about the right tackle?!

These are all concerns that fans - including myself to a certain extent - and members of the national media have voiced over the offseason. While everyone was hoping that Green Bay would zig towards a well-known receiver or a defensive lineman, GM Brian Gutekunst zags as he claimed John Lovett off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs a week ago.

This is a move that may have left many asking, why? But given the importance of the H-back position in Matt LaFleur's offense, along with Lovett's versatility, it does make sense.
