Packers WR Amari Rodgers flashes gadget value in preseason finale

The Green Bay Packers made a concerted effort to get the ball to Amari Rodgers in the preseason finale on Thursday night, and the second-year wide receiver produced a few splash plays in a gadget-type role.

Rodgers lined up wide, in the slot and in the backfield and was the No. 1 kickoff and punt returner. He handled seven total touches on offense and one kickoff return.

To open the game, Rodgers made a man miss on a busted kickoff return and advanced the ball almost to the 20-yard line, negating what could have been a negative play.
