The single biggest issue with the current crop of Green Bay Packer wide receivers is that they are all confined to specific roles. Christian Watson may never play another down for the team, depending on his recovery from injury, but he’s an outside burner and gadget player more than anything. Romeo Doubs is a solid outside possession receiver. Dontayvion Wicks separates like Davante Adams but can’t hang onto the ball. And Jayden Reed is confined exclusively to slot duty.
This is all extremely against the overall philosophy of both Matt LaFleur, and mentor Kyle Shanahan, who prefer players to flip from diverse pass-catching phenoms to power-run-blocking road-graders.
