Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks has ‘matured so much’ over the last few months, according to passing game coordinator Jason Vrable.
‘I think early in (2024), he wanted the results so bad. He wanted to catch the ball and score. He was getting open, and then he would have a bad drop and everybody would be so upset over him and he’d be down on himself. I think he really learned to just handle one play at a time. It just happens to some guys. … I think he’s matured so much. And you saw at the end of the year when the ball was coming his way there was a real confidence toward the end to get open and make the play. And just do one play at a time. If you watched our practices, the speed that he’s playing at, (offensive coordinator Luke) Getsy just came back here and was like, ‘Man, this guy is so fast. And he’s practicing so hard.’ And you can see it. He’s in Year 3, and he knows the system, he’s playing with confidence and the energy’s been awesome right now,’ Vrable told the team’s website earlier this week.
