The Green Bay Packers now have what appear to be seven legitimate NFL receivers on their roster, providing fifth-round pick Trevor Davis is indeed a legitimate NFL receiver.
That’s what made the Davis pick so interesting.
With Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Ty Montgomery, Davante Adams, Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis already on the roster, you could clearly argue the Packers have no need for another receiver.
The team typically only keeps five receivers on their roster. In 2015, the Packers went against form and kept six.
But seven?
It’s not unheard of.
