A former Clemson wide receiver is locked in — and much more confident — as he tries to make a bigger impact for his team ahead of his second NFL campaign.
After the Green Bay Packers traded up to draft Amari Rodgers in the third round (85th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft, the former Tiger took only 103 snaps on offense as a rookie, recording four receptions for 45 yards while seeing most of his action as a kickoff and punt returner.
There was a learning curve for Rodgers as a rookie, and as he adjusted to being a smaller part of the Packers’ offense in comparison to the big role he played during his Clemson career (2017-20) — when he racked up 181 career receptions for 2,144 yards with 15 receiving touchdowns over 55 career games (37 starts) — Rodgers did his best last season to learn from fellow Packers receivers and figure out what he could improve on this season.
