At 6′ 5″ and 227 pounds, Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard is almost the size of a tight end and has emerged as the best run-blocking wide receiver in the N-F-L, according to grades handed out by Pro Football Focus.
Coach Matt LaFleur calls Lazard his “enforcer” for the team’s ground game.
Lazard has had a blocking assignment on 351 running plays over the last two years.
He’s a solid receiver, too, with 40 catches last year, good for 609 yards and four touchdowns.
Lazard has worked hard to turn himself into an indispensable player for LaFleur’s high-octane offense.
