Tory Horton’s name has been floated as a future pick for the Green Bay Packers. In case it happens, he might find himself playing next to his childhood idols.
The 22-year-old wide receiver is a projected third round pick but do not be surprised if he gets taken earlier than expected with the way he’s been impressing scouts in the NFL Combine.
Lots of reporters are taking notice and he had a considerable attention over the weekend and among the questions were about his role models.
He did not hesitate to give the names of two persons related to the Green Bay Packers.
“I kind of watch a lot of variety receivers, I watched a lot of Davante Adams who came out of Fresno State. One of the best receiver packages I’ve seen,” he told reporters.
He then named current Packers receiver Doubs who he said has a a stock that is getting bigger.
“I’m really big on you know, Romeo Doubs, I watched him play out of Nevada. He’s turning up right now. I’m big on Steffon Digs, Justin Jefferson. I like to watch a lot of them.”
Horton was a stud in college although his stock falling may be attributed to his injury in his last year with the Nevada Wolf Pack.
Romeo Doubs’ status for Green Bay Packers
Multiple articles have been written about how it would better for the Packers to part ways with their 24-year-old wide receivers.
He is set to become a free agent soon but letting him go might be an issue given the fact that his currently recovering from an injury he incurred in the playoff loss to eventual NFL winners Philadelphia Eagles.
Ex Packers Mark Tauscher is among those who were not optimistic about Doubs’ future with the team.
Romeo Doubs, it will be a monster year to prove if he’s gonna be a Pack moving forward. There’s a lot of question mark about how he operates this season. He is gonna have to be uhmmm, he is gonna really have to elevate for Green Bay to give him another contract.
