The Green Bay Packers went with potential over experience for the last wide receiver spot. The Packers want to see more of rookie Samori Toure, who they chose over Juwann Winfree for the initial 53-man roster.
The decision was a bit of a surprise, considering Winfree had received praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. However, this isn’t another Jake Kumerow situation. Winfree, now in his fourth NFL season, had the experience edge over Toure, but the rookie’s production in the preseason was tough to ignore.
Toure led all Green Bay receivers with 125 yards after catching nine out of 13 targets.
