Can Amari Rodgers Take a Big Step Forward in Year Two?

There is no doubt that Packers wide receiver Amari Rodgers had a disappointing rookie season. The third-round pick out of Clemson saw only limited action on offense and played only 10 percent of the offensive snaps for the Packers.

Rodgers finished the season with only four catches for 45 yards and did not score a touchdown. On special teams, he struggled to judge and field punts and when to return kickoffs. His average per punt returns was a pedestrian 8.3-yards per runback while on kick returns, he averaged only 18.1-yards per try.

There were forces working against Amari Rodgers last year.
