Lazard’s Value Goes Beyond Catching Passes

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Through three games last season, Allen Lazard had 13 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Through three games this season, he has three catches for 58 yards and zero touchdowns.

That doesn’t mean the receiver’s value has been any less to the Green Bay Packers. In fact, he was incredibly valuable in the 30-28 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Lazard caught a 42-yard pass to help the Packers to an early lead, blocked Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa on Aaron Jones’ touchdown late in the first half and signed up for duty on the kickoff team after the Niners broke a long return.
