Something quite unexpected has been occurring in recent weeks that must have team GM Brian Gutekunst uttering a sigh of relief. The performance of the Packers’ youthful receivers has been stunning – they are improving, literally by leaps and bounds, before our eyes.
For the most part over the last two decades, Green Bay has relied on obtaining talented players via selecting them high in the draft. All three of their top picks of 2019 are already contributing: Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, and Elgton Jenkins. The Class of 2017 was also a good one, featuring Aaron Jones, Kevin King, and Jamaal Williams.
