Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the Right Track for a Breakout 2019

Of all the Packers young wide receivers, no one is generating more buzz than Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The 2018 fifth-rounder produced a solid rookie campaign in which he went for 581 yards on 38 receptions and hauled in two touchdowns. His yards and receptions put him in the top-10 among all rookie receivers last season while his 217 yards after the catch were good enough for fifth overall. Valdes-Scantling’s speed and nuances for his position have Green Bay coaches and players raving about his upside even as he enters only his second NFL season.

During OTAs, Davante Adams spoke on Valdes-Scantling’s fit in Matt LaFleur’s system going as far to say the offense is “catered” to a guy of his skill set.
