One player each NFL team can’t let hit free agency in 2021
Green Bay Packers: RB Aaron Jones
A fifth-round pick from Texas-El Paso in 2017, running back Aaron Jones really came into his own this past season and tied for the NFL lead with 19 total touchdowns. He enters his fourth NFL campaign a big part of Matt LaFleur’s offense and a Green Bay attack that could be stressing the running game even more than in previous years.
Houston Texans: WR Kenny Stills
The Texans have made their share of trades in recent years and one of their better acquisitions was wide receiver Kenny Stills, acquired from the Miami Dolphins and a player who began his career with the Saints. He finished 2019 with 30 catches, good for 561 yards and four scores. His seven NFL seasons have added up 299 catches, 36 for TDs.
Indianapolis Colts: WR T.Y. Hilton
He was sorely missed when he was unavailable this past season. Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was part of the team’s strong draft class in 2012. The four-time Pro Bowler missed a career-high six games this past season and finished with just 45 receptions, albeit five for scores. The eight-year veteran also has his share of postseason experience.
