There is organization-wide confidence in Allen Lazard ascending to become the No. 1 receiver for the Green Bay Packers during the 2022 season. The general manager, coach and quarterback all believe in him. Lazard’s path, especially as an undrafted free agent entering the NFL, is a relatively uncommon one. But veteran Randall Cobb made an interesting comparison when talking about Lazard’s new role as the top receiver this week.
He was specifically reminded of Jordy Nelson’s ascension during the early years of Aaron Rodgers’ tenure as the Packers starting quarterback.
“I think he was trending towards the end of the season on a level that we saw Jordy in 2010, you know, on the Super Bowl run. And he followed that season up in 2011 with a big year,” Cobb said. “So, I look forward to seeing the way Allen carries himself and continues to make plays throughout this training camp and into the season.”
