Five players the Packers should target in the upcoming NFL Draft
By Josh McPeak
#5. C.J. Prosise
C.J. Prosise is an athlete. While at the University of Notre Dame, Prosise converted from a wide receiver to the running back position.
The Packers’ offense has always functioned at its best when the screen passing game is most effective.
Prosise could provide a huge boost to that department.
His 6-foot-1, 220-pound frame would make a great target for Aaron Rodgers coming out of the backfield.
Prosise exited the Fighting Irish after his redshirt junior season. A season that saw him rush for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also added 26 receptions for 308 yards and an additional touchdown.
During his redshirt sophomore season, Prosise was a receiver and a special team’s standout. Prosise led the team with 11 special teams tackles. He also hauled in 29 receptions for 516 yards and 2 touchdowns.
To the surprise of many Irish fans, Prosise converted into one of the best rushers in the country. He has the speed to break the big one.
It was on display against Georgia Tech this past season when he broke a Notre Dame Stadium record with a 91-yard touchdown run one of his three on the day.
C.J. Prosise is an unselfish athlete capable of making any team who selects him more versatile. Could he be added to the arsenal of the great Aaron Rodgers?
