Packers: 1,800 Yard Wide Receiver Becomes “Realistic Option” For Jordan Love (Report)

   

The Green Bay Packers’ passing game didn’t light up the scoreboards like many thought it might in 2024.  Jordan Love finished with 3,300 yards and 25 touchdowns.  While missing essentially three games (two due to injury and sat nearly the entire Bears week 18 game), those are still middle of the road numbers.

Making a few additions on offense might be a major focus point this off-season, and one name is becoming more and more talked about.

Going into the offseason, Green Bay will be doing their homework on available wide receivers:

Elic Ayomanor, Stanford

Elic Ayomanor is a projected Day 2 pick, which is perfect for the Packers because it would allow them to address their defense in the first round.

At 6-foot-2, Ayomanor fits more as an outside receiver than Egbuka, which is a greater need for the Packers. Turn on any highlight video, and there is an easy comparison to Packers great Jordy Nelson. He is a natural route runner with plenty of power and speed.

As for his fit with the Packers, not only can Ayomanor do all those things above, but he is a willing blocker who will beat you to the point of attack and impose his size and tenacity on you. Ayomanor would be a great Day 2 pick for Green Bay.
