Packers rookie wide receivers need to be quick learners

This week, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is getting a first look at his new players at rookie minicamp. That includes three freshly drafted wide receivers that may have to play large roles in this year’s offense.   

“They’re all are their own type of receiver, but I do think they all offer some versatility whether we want to put them inside or outside,” LaFleur said Friday. “They’re all eager to learn, we’ll just see how much they can handle and how fast they can acclimate themselves to our offense.”   

Naturally, most of the attention is on second-rounder Christian Watson, but fourth-rounder Romeo Doubs is an interesting player that could surprise people this season. Meanwhile, seventh-rounder Samori Toure has a good shot at making the team if he can stand out on special teams.
