TOO MUCH LOVE for Jermichael Finley

A lot of "NFL experts" consider him EASILY the most athletic TE in football.

Add in that he is in a great passing offense, and it probably wouldn't shock anyone to see him as the #1 TE this year. Double digit TD's are definitely in reach.

190 targets, 136 receptions, 1589 yards and 19 tds, what's not to love? Oh yeah, he starts at QB in week 16 and throws for 5 TDs!

He's legit. He struggled initially to get acclimated to the NFL and figure things out mentally but he's shown vast improvement following a disappointing rookie season. He's poised to have a huge season for the Packers. He really is an outstanding tight end.

[/QUOTE]Not on my draft board he isn't. Then again no TE is a second-round pick on my board.

That was a vicious, vicious hit to the knee, which cost him four games. But he really looked good when he came back and Rodgers really started targeting him down the stretch and in the playoff game. Now when you watch those two together, you can see the connection really taking place. I think Rodgers has all the trust in the world in Finley catching whatever comes his way. That wasn't there a year ago at this time, that's for sure. Heck, Donald Lee was still the starting TE a year ago.
