For a guy who hardly plays, Green Bay Packers receiver Jeff Janis has a lot of fans.
Part of the reason for that is because the Packers refused to play him on offense last season. Everyone saw the Packers’ passing game struggling. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers openly stated the reason for that was the lack of a deep threat. And you’ve got the fastest receiver on the team rotting away on the bench.
That didn’t make much sense to anyone besides Packers coach Mike McCarthy.
There was talk that Janis couldn’t grasp McCarthy’s super-complex offense.
