2. WR Equanimeous St. Brown

He’s certainly in the discussion when it comes to the best wide receiver in the league these days. Davante Adams finished 2020 with 115 catches for 1,374 yards and 18 scores. He’s been Aaron Rodgers’ go-to guy in recent years

Amari Rodgers and has a combined 58 touchdown receptions the past five seasons. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has flashed his big play ability and comes off a year in which he averaged 20.9 yards per grab. He and Allen Lazard were tied for fourth on the team with 33 catches in ’20. And the Packers used a third-round pick in April on Clemson wideout Amari Rodgers. Equanimeous St. Brown has battled injuries after being a sixth-round pick by the club in 2018.

1. CB Josh Jackson

He was a second-round pick back in 2018 but it’s been a less-than-stellar last few years after a solid rookie campaign (see Bill Huber of SI.com). Josh Jackson played in all 16 games in his debut year and made 10 starts. He finished with 45 tackles and was second on the club with 10 passes defensed.

He played in 14 contests the following year and finished with nearly as many tackles on special teams (5) than on defense (6). He was back in the starting lineup for five games this past season and finished the year with 24 defensive stops and two passes defensed. It’s interesting to note that he was inactive for the 2020 postseason and has zero career interceptions.
