One crazy stat shows how little the Packers care about supporting Aaron Rodgers

The Pack "attack" might be anything but.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made a career of Brett Favre Hoodies Sweatshirts turning average guys into superstars. That's not to disrespect the talented players he's been paired with, but he hasn't exactly had the best surrounding cast to work with on the offensive side of the ball. This is a poorly kept secret.

Sure, he's had Jordy Nelson, James Starks Josiah Deguara Jerseys , Davante Adams, Greg Jennings and other recognizable names surrounding him. But there's one thing those guys all have in common: They weren' Jonathan Garvin Jerseys t first-round picks.

In a stat unearthed earlier in the week, the Packers' inability to surround Rodgers with help on the offensive side of the ball was on full display.

From today:

Really, this seems like organizational malpractice. Since Rodgers has been Za'Darius Smith Jerseys in Green Bay, the Packers have drafted offensive players three timesin the first round, starting withoffensive linemen Bryan Bulaga in 2010 andDerek Sherrod in 2011. That 2011 draft would be the last time the Packers would take offense until 2020, when they selected Utah State and Packers QB heirJordan Love.

In a Tipa Galeai Jerseys somewhat bizarre twist, Marcedes Lewis wasn't even drafted by the Packers. The long-time Jaguars tight end made the trek north in 2018, joining Rodgers in Green Bay and connecting with him for a single TD pa s in 2019 one of his 18 receptions as a Packer.

2021 MOCK DRAFT:

Ray Wilborn Jerseys While there's never a guarantee that a first-round pick will play to the first-round billing and hype, there's a reason that first Innis Gaines Jerseys -round picks, are, well, first-round picks. Since 2006, there have been 53 wide receivers selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, and not a single one was taken by the Packers. In the 2020 NFL Draft, a draft that was heralded as the deepest WR draft in years, the Packers selectedprecisely zero help at Bart Starr Jerseys wideout.

Typically, when organizations find their franchise quarterback, they do their best to surround him with weapons. It kind of seems like the Packers have done the opposite Jordan Love Jerseys . They might not have needed that first-round wide receiver in 2010when they won the Super Bowl with Rodgers at the helm,but you can play the what-if game all day: What if Rodgers had a pure No. 1? What if the Packers spent more money in free agency? What if Rodgers was surrounded with appropriate help?

Well, let's see Kingsley Keke Jerseys if they give Jordan Love the love theydidn't really give Rodgers.
