Packers rookie pass-catchers enjoy record-breaking season in 2023

The Green Bay Packers received more pass-catching production out of rookies in 2023 than any team in recorded NFL history.

A combination of second-round pick Luke Musgrave, second-round pick Jayden Reed, third-round pick Tucker Kraft, fifth-round pick Dontayvion Wicks, undrafted rookie Malik Heath and undrafted rookie Ben Sims led the Packers to some receiving numbers never before seen in Packers or NFL history.

A few things to know on the rookie class of pass-catchers, from either the NFL, the team’s Dope Sheet or our own research:

— The Packers set NFL records for catches by rookies (191) and receiving yards by rookies (2,250).
