GREEN BAY, Duncan Keith Youth Jersey Wis. In the ****** NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst made a curious decision in the third round.He not only drafted receiver Amari Rodgers in the third round, he gave up a fourth-round pick to move up to get him. The Packers needed a true slot receiver but, at 5-foot ****** /2, Rodgers was short very short by team standards. When you see him, when you get up on him, , Gutekunst said at the time. Said coach Matt LaFleur: Hes got a good build to him. The expectation is on the run downs to be able to dig out whether its safeties, corners, to be able to be a premier blocker. And when he gets the ball in his hands, hes pretty dynamic. I think you can use him a lot of different ways, whether its on jet motions or in the pa sing games, I think hes a really good route-runner. Hes just a complete football player. Hes got great play strength, and hes proven it over the course of his career at Clemson.Through about ****** /3 seasons, Rodgers hasnt been any of those things. Hes been a bad blocker. He hasnt been dynamic. While he showed some promise in the jet-motion game in the preseason, he hasnt been used in that role. Instead of a complete football player, hes been a complete zero. Which is why the Packers released him before Tuesdays practice.On Sunday against Dallas, Rodgers fumbled punt return could have been the death knell to the season. Nick Bonino Women Jersey With a ****** record and a five-game losing streak, the fumble deprived the Packers of the opportunity to take advantage of a short field to score the go-ahead points and instead gave the Cowboys a short field to score the go-ahead touchdown. Officially, Rodgers had fumbled five times this season, most by any nonquarterback. One of those was on the lateral play at the end of the lo s to Washington. Eliminate that, and hes got four. Rodgers and Broncos running back Melvin Gordon, who also has four fumbles, are the only nonquarterbacks among the ****** players with four-plus fumbles. Between punt returns, fair catches, kickoff returns and receptions, Rodgers has fumbled four times on ****** touches. Other than quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has seven fumbles, everyone else on the roster has four. (Aaron Jones and Romeo Doubs have two apiece.)From that perspective, Rodgers benching on returns vs. Dallas was warranted and overdue. special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said a few days after Rodgers fumbled in London against the Giants and two weeks before Rodgers Lars Eller Jersey lost a fumble that ruined early momentum in the lo s to Washington. He works his rear end off and does a good job making decisions Miikka Salomaki Jersey back there. Hes a clean-catch guy right now and hes a young player. So, Im real excited about the future, what hes done and the way he practices, and so wed like him to do a better job with ball security and hanging onto the ball, and hes working on it.The dilemma between patience and moving on comes from Rodgers draft status. Third-round draft picks need to be reliable role players, if nothing else. Of the ****** players selected in the third round in ****** , ****** have started at least ****** games. That includes receiver Nico Collins. He was taken 89th overall, four picks after Rodgers. In seven games this season, hes caught ****** pa ses for ****** yards for the Texans. Spencer Brown (Buffalo) and Kendrick Green (Pittsburgh) are starting offensive linemen.Scroll to ContinueRodgers career, on the other hand, was going nowhere fast. His only career start came when the teams three top receivers were inactive at Arizona last year. Hes barely used on offense with Randall Cobb and Romeo Doubs out against Dallas, he was on the field for only one pa sing play and now he had no role on special teams.The Packers have a miserable history with their third-round picks, a trend that goes back to Ted Thompson picking running back Alex Green in ****** and defensive tackle Montravius Adams in ****** and continues with Gutekunsts selections of Oren Burks in ****** bust Ray Bourque Jersey ), Jace Sternberger in ****** bust), Josiah Deguara in ****** decent role player) and, now, Rodgers.Its not as if Rodgers doesnt have talent. He clearly does. But with no path to playing time, the Packers cut their lo ses on Tuesday.More Green Bay Packers News
