He’s not at mandatory minicamp and hasn’t signed his contract tender, but Allen Lazard was still specifically identified by quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the player with an opportunity to be the new No. 1 wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers in 2022.
Davante Adams is gone, and no one on the roster can replace him. But Lazard may get the first shot at being the No. 1 in a new Packers offense.
“Excited about Allen Lazard. He’s been our dirty work guy for most of his career here. Now he’s getting an opportunity to be a No. 1 receiver,” Rodgers said Tuesday. “So, I’m not worried at all about him stepping into that role. I talk to him a lot. I know how he takes care of his body. I know he’ll be ready when he’s here.”
