The Green Bay Packers have a outstanding WR corps
35-year old Donald Driver just hasn’t been acting his age as he is still probably the best WR on the Packers. Driver played in 16 games (all starts) for the Packers last season and he caught 70 passes for 1,061 yards (15.2 avg) with 6 TD grabs. He has now played 11 years for the Packers appearing in 161 games (124 starts) in which he has caught 647 passes for 9,050 yards (14.0 avg) with 49 TD grabs. Driver has also carried the ball 34 times for 217 yards (6.4 ypc) with 1 TD run in his career. Driver has made it to 3 Pro Bowls in his NFL career. I don’t see Driver making it to another Pro Bowl in 2010 but I think he will play well for the Packers as long as he can stay healthy.
26-year old Greg Jennings is the up and coming star of the Packers’ WR corps. Jennings played in 16 games (13 starts) for the Packers last season and he caught 68 passes for 1,113 yards (16.4 avg) with 4 TD grabs. He has now played in 59 games (52 starts) in his four years in the NFL and he has caught 246 passes for 3,957 yards (16.1 avg) with 28 TD grabs. This might be the season that Jennings overtakes Driver as the Packers’ #1 WR.
26-year old James Jones will have to hold off Jordy Nelson in training camp to stay the #3 WR for the Packers in 2010. Jones played in 16 games (3 starts) for the Packers last season and he caught 32 passes for 440 yards (13.8 avg) with 5 TD grabs. He has now played in 42 games (14 starts) in his 3 years with the Packers and he has caught 99 passes for 1,390 yards (14.0 avg) with 8 TD grabs. Jones is one of the better #3 WRs in the NFL.
25-year old Jordy Nelson was been a solid player for the Packers but he will be looking to move up the depth chart in training camp. Nelson played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Packers last season and he caught 22 passes for 320 yards (14.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs. He has now played in 29 games (2 starts) in his two years with the Packers and he has caught 55 passes for 686 yards (12.5 avg) with 4 TD grabs.
PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE PACKERS WRs in 2010: A+
