Packers Have Least Amount of Drops in NFL
Green Bay Packers wide receivers had a big of a drop issue in the last couple of years. It was not Davante Adams’ fault as he cured those woes from earlier in his career. Green Bay’s receiving core is not part of the cream of the crop in the NFL. They will upgrade it in the NFL Draft next season. Part of the reason why I think Brian Gutekunst didn’t trade for a receiver was due to the loaded 2020 NFL Draft class. What’s been impressive though is the Packers have the least amount of drops in the NFL.

People can say that drops are subjective, but at the same time, drops can make a difference either way. Look at San Francisco last night where Jimmy Garappolo could not find a receiver to catch the football. That might have been the difference from San Francisco being 9-0 to 8-1. What’s more interesting is the Packers have more attempts than every team in the top ten in NFL drops this season.
This is probably setting up for all-time jinx but what can you do.
