Amari Rodgers was coming off his most productive college season with the Clemson Tigers during his draft process. This would lead to him hearing his name being called in the 3rd round by the Green Bay Packers. His NFL career wouldn't pick up where his college career left off, as his pro career has been a struggle.
With the Packers, he struggled to carve out a consistent role as a WR with the team. He looked improved last year with the Texans, but with their new coaching staff, he lost his spot there. He will now be on his 3rd team in his 3rd year in the NFL, and if he isn't able to land with the Colts, it could very well be his last.
