It was about a month ago — prior to the Los Angeles Rams game to be exact — that Green Bay Packers wide receivers coach Jason Vrable stood in front of the media and said that his young receiver group had put together their best practices of the season and were on the right trajectory. Now four games later, we are all seeing on Sundays what Vrable was seeing in practice.
At the time, the Packers were in the midst of a four-game losing streak and the play of the young pass catchers under a microscope due to dropped passes, a consistent failure to make contested catches, and not running precise enough, or sometimes even the wrong routes.
