Packers' Amari Rodgers contends for bigger role in 2nd year
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Amari Rodgers has wasted no time showing he’s capable of delivering the big plays missing during his disappointing rookie season. Rodgers had a 22-yard touchdown catch and a 50-yard kickoff return Friday in a 28-21 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Rodgers caught a pass around the line of scrimmage and raced down the sideline before diving into the end zone on his touchdown. That follows a rookie season in which he had no touchdowns and didn’t have a gain from scrimmage of more than 19 yards or a return of more than 27 yards.
