GREEN BAY, Wis. – After a fabulous junior season at Virginia, Dontayvion Wicks looked like he could be one of the top receiver prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. After a disappointing senior season, he fell into the fifth round, where he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers.
Which version of Wicks did the Packers select?
The answer to that question became apparent down the stretch last season, which is why Pro Football Focus named Wicks the team’s most underrated player.
There were “multiple candidates” to choose from for PFF’s Zoltán Buday, but Wicks was one of PFF’s highest-graded receivers over the final seven weeks of the regular season.
