Jury is still out on Packers WR Allen Lazard entering 2021

What is the next step for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard? Is he reserved to being a low-tier third or even fourth wide receiver? Or is he ready to take the next step? The Packers aren’t sure either, so they tendered the 25-year-old receiver for the second straight year.

Over the last two seasons, Lazard has caught 68 passes for 920 yards and six touchdowns. In 2020, Lazard was on pace for a career year before a core injury knocked him out for a six-game stretch.

The injury could not have come at a worse time as it occurred during a breakout performance against the New Orleans Saints.
