GB has receiver surplus, competition

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wideout Davante Adams says the addition of veteran Randall Cobb has made it easier to provide leadership to the team’s younger receivers.

But it’s also made it tougher for those receivers to crack the 53-man roster.

Adams said much of what he learned came from watching Cobb and Jordy Nelson earlier in his career. Adams noted that he doesn’t have to be the only veteran offering advice to teammates such as Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard or rookie Amari Rodgers because Cobb can make similar points.

“A lot of times I don’t have to even say that much because he’s saying the same thing,” the All-Pro receiver said.
