GREEN BAY, Wis. – A few years ago, Allen Lazard was fighting to make the Green Bay Packers’ roster. He’s fighting for something completely different in training camp this summer.
“I want to be the best receiver in the league,” Lazard said at Packers training camp on Saturday.
Lazard understands the grandeur of that statement, but you can’t get to the top without thinking big. Yes, tongue was in cheek when Aaron Rodgers called Lazard a Hall of Famer, but that statement showed Rodgers’ belief and faith. As the best veteran receiver on the roster, Lazard knows the opportunity that awaits.
