The Green Bay Packers have to feel good about Jordan Love and the future of this organization. Although this season ended on a three-game losing streak, being victorious in 11 games with your second year starting quarterback is impressive. Especially after trading away a four-time MVP quarterback.
That being said, more wide receiver help could be on the way, and there’s one name quickly climbing up the leader board.
19-Career-Touchdown WR Pegged To Play With Packers’ Jordan Love; “Perfect Addition”

Pro Football Network highlighted how Green Bay could add one more major weapon for Love:

Bryant will thrive in systems favoring iso routes and boundary work where his technical savvy and length create natural advantages. His advanced understanding of leverage and route-running nuances fit seamlessly into timing-based offenses that create one-on-one matchups outside the numbers.
While he lacks elite separation skills, his proficiency in winning through technique and body positioning establishes him as a legitimate X-receiver at the next level.
His game brings shades of Kenny Golladay‘s peak years (Giants and Lions)– a technician who compensates for average athleticism with precise footwork and dominant contested catch ability. Bryant’s clutch performance in critical moments (three game-winning touchdowns in 2024) coupled with his red zone prowess suggest he could quickly develop into a trusted target in high-leverage situations.
His route tree versatility and impressive ball tracking will make him especially valuable in play-action heavy schemes where he can work the intermediate areas and challenge safeties vertically.
