Brian Angelichio Knows What He Has in Richard Rodgers

Richard Rodgers

We were interested in hearing what Green Bay Packers new tight ends coach Brian Angelichio had to say about the players he is inheriting, specifically Richard Rodgers.

Although Angelichio has a great track record of developing talent at tight end, it has been opined that former Packers tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot ultimately lost his job because he wasn’t given any talent to work with.

To point, Rodgers averaged a mere 8.8 yards per catch in 2015. That’s only a good number if you’re a running back.

Angelichio was asked about Rodgers on Thursday and you could tell he clearly wasn’t blown away by his talent.

“Rich has some skills sets that you like and I’m continuing to evaluate and go through that as we do the cut-ups, but obviously he was a productive player last year. He caught 58 or 55 footballs last year, shows good hands and he’s a guy… he’s only played two seasons. He was thrown right into the fire. To his credit, he’s done a good job,” Angelichio said.

And that’s pretty much the scouting report on Rodgers to a T.

Great hands, but slow and not much of a blocker. Part of that has to be deduced from what Angelichio doesn’t say about Rodgers, but it’s obvious.

In other words, “Boy, I sure would love it if the Packers gave me some other options to work with.”

So would we, Brian. So would we.

    LOL !!!! That coach’s comment doesn’t even seem like he is too high on Rodgers.

    “He’s a guy”
    That about sums it up

    Richard Rodgers has good hands but he is slow as hell when it comes to getting open. Richard Rodgers to me is a okay TE.

    “he’s a guy… he’s only played two seasons”

    Really needed an ellipsis for three words, Monty? Boy, that sure is some creative…journalism. I wonder what the purpose of that ellipsis could be, certainly not to potentially alter the meaning of the sentence, no, surely not. The actual quote from the interview is: “he’s a guy, like you said (McCarren), who’s only played two seasons in the league.” This was a response to a question posed by Larry McCarren in which McCarren refers to Rodgers as a “…young, developing player”.

    Good stuff, Monty.

        You’re right. Apologies, to Monty.

    The two picks, in the third round of the 2014 draft, are candidates for the for the worst draft round in Packers history.
