Aaron Rodgers sees something in Samori Toure, Packers’ seventh-round WR

After losing Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the same offseason, the Green Bay Packers added three wide receivers in this year’s NFL Draft. Everyone is most excited about Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, who the Packers selected in the second and fourth rounds, respectively. However, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers made an interesting comment about seventh-rounder Samori Toure.

“Physically, they definitely look the part,” Rodgers said Wednesday. “All three of the guys we drafted all have physical gifts. Obviously, the top two picks are bigger, but the seventh-rounder has a lot of stuff to him.”

Usually, when teams are drafting in the later rounds, they will look for certain traits. Toure possesses a nice blend of size and athleticism, which obviously attracted him to the Packers. At his pro day, he ran a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash and has decent size at 6-1, 190 pounds.
