Packers feel confidence growing for WR Amari Rodgers entering Year 2

The Green Bay Packers invested heavily in rebuilding the wide receiver position this offseason, but the team hasn’t forgotten about the potential improvement of second-year receiver Amari Rodgers.

Packers wide receivers coach Jason Vrable said he see Rodgers’ confidence growing substantially entering Year 2.

“He’s taking those steps right now. I feel really good about Amari,” Vrable said Thursday. “(Randall Cobb) bumped me the other day and was like, ‘Yo, you can feel it from him.’ I just smiled. It’s just the start right now.”

Rodgers, the 85th overall pick in the draft last year, played only 103 snaps on offense, handled just five touches (four catches, one rush) and struggled as a returner as a rookie.
