The Green Bay Packers have a ton of wide receivers.
Dontayvion Wicks flew under the radar all offseason.
But in the early going of the 2025 campaign, it’s obvious Jordan Love loves to throw him the ball.
That was incredibly true on the Packers’ opening drive of Thursday Night Football, and it should continue as the season goes on.

Why is Jordan Love throwing to Dontayvion Wicks so much?
Dontayvion Wicks gets open. It’s that simple.
He’s in his third NFL season out of Virginia Tech, and he’s been a key contributor despite a small role early in his career.
In 2023, Wicks had 39 catches for 581 yards.
And then he had 39 more catches for 415 yards in 2024.

He had nine touchdowns through two seasons, too.
It’s clear that Love likes him.
Then on the opening drive of TNF, Wicks cooked Marshon Lattimore to get open twice, then nearly caught a deep touchdown that was just overthrown.
Love definitely loves him.
