Green Bay Packers: 4.29 "Blazing Fast" Wide Receiver Engages With Team

The Green Bay Packers certainly have a bright future at their wide receiver position. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs both had breakout rookie campaigns that left Packers fans excited for year two. Aaron Jones out of the backfield has also been a consistent threat in the passing game. That said, the Packers are still interested in adding another pass catcher this off-season. They have reportedly met with one wide receiver who could drastically help their squad.

Green Bay Packers Meet With Cincinnati Wide Receiver Tyler Scott

According to Aaron Wilson:

Cincinnati Bearcats wide receiver Tyler Scott (4.39, 39.5 vertical, 11-1 broad jump), a second-round draft target, had meetings with the Titans, Bills, Colts, Rams, Packers, Saints, Patriots; and visited the Bengals, per league source.

According to Tyler Scott’s draft profile:

Cincinnati WR Tyler Scott doesn’t always get the buzz you’d expect from an early declare, but he has the 2023 NFL Draft scouting report to go off the board early this April. Numbers have been, and will continue to be, fairly kind to Scott. They were in high school, when the three-star athlete recruit ran for 44 touchdowns across his final two seasons and added three more scores as a kick returner.

Tyler Scott broke out in 2021 with 520 yards and five touchdowns on 30 catches. He continued that success in 2022, when he recorded 899 yards and nine touchdowns on 54 receptions, averaging 16.6 yards per catch. Even with the production in mind, Scott’s unconfirmed numbers are even more impressive. He’s reportedly clocked a 4.29 40-yard dash, and there’s a definite speed element to his game that’s confirmed by the tape.

Scott is dynamic and versatile, and he did his best work after a notable QB change for the Cincinnati Bearcats. On the surface, his profile brings plenty to like. Taking a deep dive into the tape, let’s see what else he brings to the table. This type of wide receiver would fit perfectly in the Green Bay Packers offense. A dynamic slot wide receiver would compliment Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs well.

Tyler Scott is projected as a second round wide receiver, a round the Green Bay Packers have had a lot of success in when it comes to drafting wide receivers. Davante Adams, James Jones, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, and Christian Watson were all taken in round two.
