Green Bay — Veteran newcomer Jared Cook will be counted on for some Finley-esque splash plays, but third-year pro Richard Rodgers would appear to be the Green Bay Packers' top tight end now and possibly for the next few seasons.
If Rodgers, who was noticeably trimmer this off-season, doesn't seem to be a fan favorite, so be it. All that matters is the evaluation of the coaching staff.
"Richard Rodgers had a very good year," associate head coach Tom Clements said in May. "He caught a lot of passes."
In 18 games, Rodgers ranked second in receptions with 65 and third in yards with 566.
