In Week Three, the Green Bay Packers dramatically returned to winning.
Green Bay’s home opener was a victory for the Packers despite a 17-0 deficit thanks to an incredible 18-point fourth quarter led by Jordan Love.
No one can deny that Green Bay’s offense isn’t quite at its best right now. David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Aaron Jones, and Christian Watson, the starting wide receiver and left tackle respectively, were all absent today.
The Packers were involved in a running back trade with the Cincinnati Bengals due to the uncertainty surrounding how long Aaron Jones might be out and a few underwhelming performances from AJ Dillon.
Green Bay could target a number of players for the running back position, according to a Packers newsletter called “The Leap.”. A startling name surfaced: Chase Brown.
Chase Brown, a young running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, could pique Green Bay’s interest despite his limited usage as a Bengal.
“.
According to ESPN, Illinois-native rookie running back Chase Brown, who was selected in the fifth round, has the potential to play a significant role in Cincinnati’s offense.
No one would have been shocked if Brown had opportunities, despite the Bengals starting Joe Mixon at running back this season.
In contrast, he only played one offensive snap and seven snaps on special teams during the first two weeks.
The following was stated in Brown’s draft profile:.
Chase Brown is one of the most dangerous athletes at the position in this class and possesses the veteran-like skills to contribute right away.
It’s not difficult to see that athleticism on film because he exploded at the NFL combine.
His burst is serious when he is given the opportunity to reach the perimeter or when he is given a lane through the second level.
Instantly shifting into another gear, he easily slips past defenders. Also excellent is Brown’s top-end speed.
He possesses more than enough energy to consistently pose a threat for big plays.
A decent runner between the tackles rounds out the Illinois product’s skill set. He plays with deft, quick feet but still has the ability to fly through gaps when the opportunity presents itself. He also shows a clear ability to fight through bodies and effectively manages contact.
A rookie running back being released by the Bengals before they fully assess his potential would be quite shocking.
To get him out of Cincinnati, it would probably take draft compensation greater than a fifth-round pick.
