The Green Bay Packers know that something will need to change in their passing attack going into 2025. The wide receiver group figured to be a position of strength in 2024, however, by seasons end it was a major concern.
Going into the off-season everyone figured wide receiver would be a priority, but that was confirmed when one of Green Bay’s star players commented on it.
Breaking: Packers’ Starting Wide Receiver “Laughs” At Josh Jacobs’ WR Comment (Report)
Today Josh Jacobs made an eye-opening statement, but not an inaccurate one:
Jacobs went onto the “No BS” podcast with Bill Schmid and Armen Saryan. He decided to talk about the Packers wide receiver group on the podcast. Josh Jacobs said:
“I think we need a guy that’s proven to be a #1 WR already.”
Those are some interesting comments from the star running back. He doesn’t want to see the team draft a wide receiver. Jacobs probably thinks that they should go after players like D.T. Metcalf, Tee Higgins, or Davante Adams this offseason.
One of those three wide receivers would probably be a better bet than drafting a wide receiver in the first or second round in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Here is the full video:
“I think we need a guy that’s proven to be a #1 WR already.”

Clearly, Wicks feels as though they already have a number one wide receiver on the roster. Here is a look at Wicks’ stats in 2024:
