Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the standout player in the Green Bay Packers’ opening week preseason win. We all know the stats by now — five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown.
That’s a 20.2 yard average, which potentially establishes Valdes-Scantling as the bonafide deep threat the Packers have been lacking. We’d like to see him with Aaron Rodgers before cementing that, of course.
Valdes-Scantling was the only receiver in the league to surpass 100 yards in week 1 of the preseason. He was also the league’s highest-rated receiver, according to Pro Football Focus. They gave him a 90.
