Pro Football Focus recently named one “secret superstar” on each NFL team, and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was the pick for the Green Bay Packers.

Wicks finished his rookie season catching 67 percent of his 61 targets at 14.8 yards per catch with five touchdowns. It was during the second half of the season where Wicks’ role began to expand, becoming a reliable go-to target for quarterback Jordan Love, oftentimes in key situations.

On third downs, Wicks hauled in 70 percent of his 20 targets at 14.1 yards per catch with 13 of his 14 receptions going for first downs.
