If preseason football can be an indication of what a team is willing to do when the games count, the Green Bay Packers appear to be more inclined to use Amari Rodgers as a real offensive weapon than they were last season. During the exhibition games throughout August, the second-year player was used at multiple spots and with several roles — the type of gadget usage that was universally expected when Amari was drafted in the third round last year, but that wasn't effective in his rookie season.
In 2021, Rodgers finished the season with mere 56 scrimmage yards — eight targets and four receptions for 45 yards, plus one single rush for 11 yards.
