In the weeks after the Green Bay Packers' playoff exit this past season, running back Josh Jacobs publicly called for the Packers to add a proven No. 1 receiver to the team. After an unimpressive offensive performance in the Packers' wild-card loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs explained the importance of adding a true top receiver during an appearance on a local radio station.
"We've got a really young group of receivers; all can be really, really, really special," Jacobs told Milwaukee radio station 97.3 The Game earlier this offseason. "But I think, personally, we need a guy that's proven to be a No. 1 already—somebody we know that's going to be a little more consistent."
