The “sky’s the limit” for rookie Dontayvion Wicks, who has outperformed most of the rookies in this draft class and has become a key part of the Packers’ offense.

“A lot,” Love said on Wednesday when asked what he likes about Wicks. “I think just his personality, how he approaches coming into work every week, finding ways to get better. He’s always asking questions, always asking if he’s in the right spot, and then I think he’s a guy who’s in his coach’s ear all the time, trying to find ways to get better."



As much buzz as Musgrave and Reed have gotten, Wicks might outshine them all when it's said and done.

Also interesting how they refer to Adam's as a HoF lock. I thought he was on the outside looking in tbh.

2) I feel like the NFL Hall of Fame has gotten weaker and easier to get into in recent decades. As they seem to be more about inviting as many into the Hall Of Fame as the rules allow, which tries to sell more tickets, which I think is their goal, especially as supposedly the Hall of Fame is struggling financially.

3) Adams is currently #45 in career receiving yardage with about (rounding) 10,600 career yardage. To get in the top 10 of all time, a receiver would need about 14,350.

So Adams just needs 3,750 more career receiving yardage to be in the top 10 of all time. He was putting up 1,300 to 1,500 per season for a while there, but with injuries and QB issues, that's gone down this year, but still looks like he'll crack 1,000.

So if he can stay healthy and playing for 3 to 5 more years, I think he has a a legitimate shot, especially considering, I don't think anyone can argue he was the best WR in the NFL at least one year (possible two).

For at least the past ten years , there has been a logjam  at the wide receiver position  when it comes to Hall of Fame inductions. Some of the most spectacular specimens of our lifetimes have waited a long time  to receive their busts. Adams has been impressive, but I don't think cracking the top 10 in career yardage will be enough to secure a berth. I think he needs more than a year or two of league dominance to receive consideration. The fact that he got to play with Aaron Rodgers will probably hurt his cause rather than help it, though the fact that he had a great season with Raiders will be a point in his favor.

Seeing Reggie White's bust was cool, and the A Game for Life holographic locker room was impressive; but overall, I found the experience underwhelming and even kind of boring. I got there pretty late in the day and was still able to work my way through before closing time. I didn't find it worth the price of admission.

I am still impressed he held onto that TD pass against the Panthers as he took a big hit and left the game afterwards. This young WR and TE group gives you so much optimism for the future. Let's get the OL upgraded and a new coordinator on Defense and I am pretty excited.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
