Packers: Jeff Janis’ time could be up in Green Bay

Janis, an unrestricted free agent in March, hasn’t been able to convert his combination of size, speed and athleticism into production as a wide receiver.

He’s made some spectacular plays along the way (See: Arizona), but they’ve been few and far between.

The seventh-round pick has maintained a spot on the roster due to his excellent special teams work. But will it be enough to land him a second contract with the Packers?

Some of Janis’ best work has come as a gunner on punt coverages. His ability to fly down the sideline and either force a fair catch or quickly take down the returner quickly impressed.
