Middle of Field Key in Passing Game Evolution

Green Bay is now three-deep at tight end with the additions of Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks joining Richard Rodgers. Bennett is possibly the most complete tight end the team has had in decades, combining ideal size, relentless blocking ability, and excellent athleticism. After the catch, he shows both physicality and shiftiness—basically whatever the play calls for. Kendricks should be highly motivated, both for his return to Wisconsin and for escaping quarterback purgatory. Rodgers may not be a dynamic athlete, but he has good hands and is only a season removed from hauling in eight touchdowns.

Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy have each expressed that this grouping opens up the possibility of more two tight end sets.
