Samori Toure

The Packers' young receiving corps became an excellent group this season. Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed combined for 123 catches, 1,467 yards, and 16 touchdowns. Dontayvion Wicks had a standout rookie season, catching 39 passes for 581 yards and four touchdowns. Christian Watson missed eight games but was a difference-maker when healthy.

Green Bay even got contributions from Bo Melton, who spent most of the season on the practice squad, and undrafted rookie Malik Heath.

Green Bay hoped to see more from second-year Samori Toure.

Toure was active for the Packers' opening seven games of the regular season, even playing 88 snaps between Weeks 1 and 4. But Toure had little to show for it, making only five catches for 52 yards. Melton and Heath overtook him on the depth chart, and he was a healthy scratch for five of the next seven games.

In Week 17, Toure caught one pass for minus-six yards and muffed a punt. Unfortunately, he also suffered a significant injury, placing his status for the start of the 2024 season in doubt. Hopefully, Toure will make a quick recovery.

However, he may need a fresh start on a new team because the Packers have a deep receiving corps.
