Receiver Talent, Depth may Again Become Coveted Team Strength
November 7, 2011. Not a date of any particular significance in Packer lore, just the 37th time Green Bay hogged the cover of Sports Illustrated.Pictured was quarterback/eventual league MVP Aaron Rodgers along with his unrivaled cast of standout receivers: Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, James Jones, Donald Driver and rookie Randall Cobb.
Such an amassing of skill position talent seems unfair. But the Packers cultivated the group through the draft over many years. The group featured a trio of second-round picks in Nelson, Jennings and Cobb; James Jones and Jermichael Finley in round three; and Donald Driver in the seventh round all the way back in 1999.
