Martellus Bennett, one of the top tight ends in football, had 73 passes thrown in his direction while he was in New England last year. Lance Kendricks had a whopping 87 targets while playing for the Los Angeles Rams.

Together, this duo combined for 160 targets, 105 receptions and nine touchdowns. It will be tough for Bennett and Kendricks to match that type of production on a team where Jordy Nelson (152 targets), Davante Adams (121) and Randall Cobb (84) have dominated the football.

But the potential that Bennett and Kendricks give the Packers’ passing game has the entire organization giddy with excitement.

“I think what it does is it gives us some more flexibility to run two tight end sets,” Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “Both guys can put their hand on the ground and go and block guys really well but also add that dimension in the passing game.”
