Seven wide receivers on an NFL roster? It might not be as crazy as it sounds.
Here at Acme Packing Company, we broke down the wide receiver position for the Green Bay Packers last week. This week that group is getting some more attention from NFL writers all over, and like APC's readers, one of them finds there to be a real possibility that the team could keep seven receivers on the active roster when all is said and done.
It is likely that rookie Trevor Davis is one of the players who will make the roster and he appears to be comfortable in competing for a job. Through transfers and tough position battles in college, he should be ready to go once again this summer.
While those players are fighting for roster spots, there will be plenty of other people doing the same at other positions. One of them, an undrafted rookie cornerback, gets his background profiled in today's curds as well, and we find a few other odds and ends from around the NFL as well.

The competition at wide receiver should be fierce this season and although it is unusual for an NFL team to keep 7 wideouts on the team, the special teams value that players like Jeff Janis and Ty Montgomery have should help them earn a way onto the roster.

Speaking of competition, the Packers' 5th-round draft pick is no stranger to that. After all, he transferred from Hawaii to Cal for that reason - to compete for a bigger role in a bigger conference.
