The Green Bay Packers will likely need three players who stood out over small sample sizes during the 2019 season to step up and star once again in bigger roles in 2020.
There’s one player for each phase of the game: receiver Allen Lazard, cornerback Chandon Sullivan and returner Tyler Ervin.
Lazard, Sullivan and Ervin are all favorites to play an important role for Matt LaFleur’s team in 2020.
For Lazard, an opportunity to become the No. 2 receiver behind Davante Adams is wide open and available. Undrafted in 2018 and cut by the Packers before the start of the regular season last year, Lazard made his way back onto the active roster and eventually broke out in October, providing another effective option in the passing game.
