4 Packers players who are already turning heads at OTAs
3. Samori Toure 'looks unbelievable' at Packers OTAs
It has been impossible to forget about Samori Toure this offseason. His name seems to come up in every press conference. And for good reason.
Packers wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Jason Vrable was the latest to praise Toure, saying that he "looks unbelievable."
Vrable says "83 looks unbelievable right now." Said Samori Toure has added 8-10 pounds since season ended.

Toure didn't play often last season, but he did make one of the most impressive touchdown catches of the year against the Buffalo Bills. Toure made a play like a veteran receiver, adjusting his route to find the open space, and Aaron Rodgers found him.
The second-year receiver has made some plays at OTAs this week, including catching a touchdown from Jordan Love to close out Tuesday's practice.
Toure is a player to keep a close eye on this summer. He made some impressive plays in his rookie season despite not having a ton of opportunities. He has clearly put the work in this offseason and has received praise from the coaching staff.
While Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs understandably get the most attention, and the Packers drafted three wide receivers, don't forget about Toure. He could have an important role to play this season. Toure is a player to watch in the coming months.
