The 2018 season was a forgettable one for Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis. He hardly saw the field and let alone targeted in the passing game. For years, Green Bay fans clamored for the front office to give Aaron Rodgers a weapon at tight end. First, it was Martellus Bennett in 2017 and then Jimmy Graham next. Still, the Packers didn’t see the production they wanted.
That is when it became clear Mike McCarthy’s offense was not built to effectively weaponize a tight end. For a season the team even got away with starting Richard Rodgers. However, enough was enough.
