GREEN BAY, Wis. – When the Green Bay Packers moved up in the third round to select Clemson receiver Amari Rodgers in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst said Rodgers was a consideration with the second-round pick that was used on Ohio State center Josh Myers.
One personnel director chuckled when relayed the comment.
“Yeah, people say that just to make themselves look good,” he said. “We’ve done that. ‘Oh, we were considering him in the third.’ But considering him in the third could mean he was the eighth option and if all seven of those other players went then, maybe, yeah, you were considering him then because you do have to take someone.
