With the NFL Draft just days away, a Badger prospect that many Green Bay Packer fans have kept their eye on is Quintez Cephus. In his junior season, the Macon (Ga.) native had 901 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, including a number of major highlight grabs. As Wisconsin’s wide receiver one, Cephus became one of the most dangerous deep threats in the country.
The Green Bay Packers are certainly in the market for a late-round sleeper at the wide receiver position. Catching balls from Aaron Rodgers should be an easy sell for any prospect, and the former Badger receiver made it clear that he would love to play with Rodgers in Green Bay. In a recent Wisconsin State Journal piece by Jason Wilde, Cephus told WSJ his thoughts on playing for the Packers. “Personally, I would love to play for the Packers. I’ve always watched Aaron Rodgers growing up, and I’ve always studied Davante Adams. It’d be a blessing to play with those caliber of players.”
If Packer fans, of which many are also Badger fans, saw what Cephus did in Madison this past year, there should be no questions about whether or not they would want to take a late-round chance on the wide receiver.
