Allen Lazard, the current Green Bay Packers’ team leader in receiving touchdowns in 2022, held his first public signing in two years at the D2 Sports Bar and Grill across the street from historic Lambeau Field. Mayfield Sports Marketing was proud to partner with Radtke Sports to make the event with Packers Allen Lazard possible.
Green Bay Packers fans and Iowa State fans alike attended the event, which took place on October 15. In addition to the public signing, Lazard signed 100's of pieces of Packers memorabilia that can be purchased at Radtke Sports.
Lazard also took the time during the signing to explain what makes Green Bay such a special and unique place among NFL cities.
“Green Bay, it really feels like a college town, the way fans get excited and support their team,” Lazard said. “It’s such a special place to play. New York, L.A., they don’t have this kind of feel.”
In his fifth year with the Packers Allen Lazard has four touchdowns in five games played so far this season. He has made highlight reels with his creative celebrations. This includes an ayahuasca tea party with Randall Cobb and a meditation session with Romeo Doubs.
“I plan on scoring a lot more touchdowns this year, so I gotta keep coming up with some fun ideas,” Lazard said.

Mayfield Sports Marketing partnered with the Kenosha Kingfish on a very successful celebrity softball game to benefit The Boys and Girls Club. Current Green Bay Packers players AJ Dillon and Jordan Love attended and took pictures with fans. In addition, Packers alumni Gilbert Brown, Dorsey Levens, Ahman Green, Eugene Robinson, and George Teague were also participants in the game. They also signed autographs and took pictures with fans before the game.
The event drew a large crowd to Historic Simmons Field, home of the Kenosha Kingfish of the Northwoods League. Fans gathered to wait in line for autographs as early as two hours before the event began. A 50/50 raffle was held to benefit The Boys and Girls Club.
Of course, this event made national headlines due to AJ Dillon trucking over Elvis, the Kenosha Kingfish mascot. In a now viral video, Dillon and Elvis participated in a drill known as Oklahoma. The two participants start out lying flat on their backs. When the whistle blows, they get up and run towards each other. Dillon hit Elvis so hard that the mascot’s head flew off.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Looks to Replace “The Cheetah” in Kansas City
The NFL offseason brings a plethora of changes for all teams and many players. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a former fifth round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers, has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after four years in Green Bay. The Chiefs were in need of another speedy threat after Tyreek Hill departed for the Miami Dolphins. Now, MVS will look to make the sure high-powered Chiefs offense does not miss “The Cheetah” too much.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling with the Green Bay Packers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling first took the field for the Green Bay Packers in 2018. Though a later round pick, he played in all 16 games. MVS hauled in 38 receptions for 581 yards and two touchdowns. In 2019, he again played all 16 games catching 26 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns.
2020 saw Valdes-Scantling have a career year for the Green Bay Packers. Again playing in all 16 games, MVS had 33 receptions for 690 yards and six touchdowns. He also led the NFL with 20.9 yards per reception. In the Packers loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC title game, MVS was the lone bright spot on offense. He had four receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown.
Last season, Marquez Valdes-Scantling played in 11 out of 17 games. He had 26 receptions for 430 yards and three touchdowns. While this may seem to indicate a drop in production, Chiefs fans can be encouraged by this: MVS had zero drops in 2021. Once considered a weakness in his game, it has become a strength.
Can Marquez Valdes-Scantling Replace Tyreek Hill?
Of course, few wide receivers can boast the same accomplishments of Tyreek Hill during his tenure with the Chiefs. Six Pro Bowls and three First Team All-Pro selections are remarkable achievements. Hill also had over 1,000 yards receiving in four of his six seasons with the Chiefs.
While it may not seem like MVS is up to the task, one must keep in mind that MVS never received the number of targets that Hill did. The most targets MVS ever had in a season was 73, and that was in his rookie season. The fewest Hill ever had in a season was 83, also in his rookie season.
The Kansas City Chiefs have also signed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuester. He brings a much different skill-set to the Chief’s offense than MVS. Additionally, MVS will be in an offense that is better suited to his style of play. What this all means is that MVS is sure to see more targets with the Chiefs. This will undoubtedly lead to more production and better numbers.
Can MVS replace Tyreek Hill? He has a better chance than most.

MSM Merchandise Price List
The NFL Network started an interesting series back in 2011 called NFL 100. The network polled NFL players and asked them to rank the 100 best players in the league. This year, two Green Bay Packers players ranked in the top ten. Aaron Rodgers was ranked third, and Mayfield Sports Marketing partner Davante Adams was ranked sixth. Additionally, our partners Aaron Jones (30) Jaire Alexander (41) were voted onto the list by their peers.
In addition to current Packers, we at Mayfield Sports Marketing partner with Packers’ legends. Many of these players are Super Bowl XXXI Champions and were top players in the NFL during their careers. As we looked at the NFL 100 list this year, we inserted the Super Bowl XXXI players who partnered with us using stats from the best season of their careers.
Dorsey Levens remains an immensely popular Green Bay Packers legend. In 1997, Levens had one of the most productive seasons in the history of Packers running backs with over 1,800 all-purpose yards. In this year’s NFL 100, the 26th ranked player was Cleveland’s, Nick Chubb. While many may believe this is too high to rank Levens, consider how his numbers in 1997 compared to Chubb’s in 2020.
| Dorsey Levens | Nick Chubb | |
| Rushing Attempts | 329 | 190 |
| Rushing Yards | 1,435 | 1,067 |
| Rushing Yards per Game | 89.7 | 88.9 |
| Rushing Touchdowns | 7 | 12 |
| Receptions | 53 | 16 |
| Receiving Yards | 370 | 150 |
| Receiving Touchdowns | 5 | 0 |
| Catch Percentage | 79.1% | 88.9% |
| Total Yards | 1,805 | 1,117 |
It should be noted that Chubb played 12 games in 2020 whereas Levens played 16 in 1997. Nevertheless, Levens’ production still should have placed him higher than Chubb on this list.
Between 1997 and 1999, Antonio Freeman put up three straight 1,000 yard seasons. In the middle of this run, his 1998 season, Freeman put up one of the best receiving seasons in Packers history. That year, in 15 games, Freeman led the NFL in both receiving yards and receiving yards per game. His production would have been good enough in 2020 to supplant Minnesota rookie Justin Jefferson for 53rd on the NFL 100 list.
| Antonio Freeman | Justin Jefferson | |
| Receptions | 84 | 88 |
| Receiving Yards | 1,424 | 1,400 |
| Touchdowns | 14 | 7 |
| Receiving Yards per Game | 94.9 | 87.5 |
| Catch Percentage | 54.9% | 70.4% |
As seen above, Freeman had more yards, yards per game, and touchdowns in one less game than Jefferson played in 2020. Had Freeman played in the 16th game, he surely would have had more receptions too. Jefferson is a young star on the rise. However, if 1998 Antonio Freeman had been in the NFL last year, he would have been ranked higher than the Vikings’ rookie.
The “Gravedigger” is one of the most iconic Packers players in recent memory. A force on the defensive line, he did not always need to rack up the stats to make an impact. His massive frame plugged up holes disallowing running backs from making big gains. His best season came in 1996 when he helped the Packers win Super Bowl XXXI.
During that season, Gilbert recorded a single sack. Research of the number of tackles he recorded that season did not render any results. However, his dominance in stuffing runners would have led him to rank 78th on the list. Of special note, Gilbert’s plugging of running lanes helped the Packers hold Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin to just 42 rushing yards in the Super Bowl.
Unlike the lost stats for Gilbert Brown’s 1996 season, the stats for Santana Dotson’s 1997 campaign are readily available. 1997 was, arguably, his best for the Green Bay Packers. Though he did not make the Pro Bowl that season, his numbers in many ways surpass those of Fletcher Cox. Cox has been named to the Pro Bowl six years in a row.
| Santana Dotson | Fletcher Cox | |
| Tackles | 71 | 41 |
| Sacks | 5.5 | 6.5 |
| Forced Fumbles | 2 | 1 |
| Fumbles Recovered | 0 | 0 |
The signing of Dotson in 1996 is one of the most underrated free-agent signings in Packers history. Additionally, he is one of the most underappreciated players from that Super Bowl team. As seen by his 1997 numbers, he was an absolute monster on the defensive line.
This may be a bit of a stretch. After all, no one on the NFL 100 is a punt or kick returner by trade. This is why we have put Desmond Howard at the 100th rank on the list.
That being said, if there was an NFL 100 list in 1997, the year after Howard’s astounding season with the Packers, he surely would have been on it. 1996 was the only full season in which Howard played with the Packers. During that campaign, he led the NFL in the following categories:
| Punt Returns | 58 |
| Punt Return Yards | 875 |
| Touchdowns | 3 |
| Yards per Return | 15.1 |
After dominating special teams all season, Howard did it again in the Super Bowl. In the Packers’ victory over the Patriots, Howard gained 154 kick return yards, returned a punt 90 yards (a record at that point), and became the first special teams player to be named Super Bowl MVP.

The Green Bay Packers have a plethora of talent on their team this year. Many players who would be locks for other team’s rosters may end up getting cut from the Packers’ final roster. Of the players who are locks, Packers Wide Receivers Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, two players whom we at Mayfield Sports have worked with in the past, are in an interesting competition. Both players are entering contract seasons. Additionally, both are candidates for the Packers’ second wide receiver position.
Of course, Davante Adams is the Packers’ number one wide receiver. After him, though, there is a battle for which player will take the second guaranteed starting spot. Both Lazard and Valdes-Scantling (MVS) had opportunities to be the second starter last season. Both had some fantastic games, but also had their separate struggles. Coming into camp, there was no clear-cut number two option at wide receiver. Undoubtedly, however, it will be one of these two players.
The decision of which of the two players will start at the second wide receiver position is very difficult. Each brings unique strengths to the offense. The question is which one is better or has the most potential to be a number two option. What complicates it further is that their stats from last season do not lend much help.
| Lazard | MVS | |
| Games | 10 | 16 |
| Receptions | 33 | 33 |
| Yards | 451 | 690 |
| Touchdowns | 3 | 6 |
| Catch % | 71.7 % | 52.4 % |
| Drop % | 10.9 % | 11.1 % |
| Yards/Game | 45.1 | 43.1 |
| Yards/Rec. | 13.7 | 20.9 |
From the stats above, it would appear that MVS had a much better season than Allen Lazard. However, it should be taken into consideration that Lazard missed six games due to a core muscle injury that required surgery. Additionally, he came back midseason and was still hampered by the injury. Taking that into consideration, one would assume that had the two played the same amount of games, it would have been Lazard with better statistics. After all, Lazard had a higher catch percentage and lower drop rate than MVS. That being said, “what ifs” do not help answer the question.
The Green Bay Packers played two playoff games last season. As the number one seed, they were able to sit out of the Wild Card round before facing the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. Here is how MVS and Lazard compared in that game:
| Player | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns |
| MVS | 4 | 33 | 0 |
| Lazard | 4 | 96 | 1 |
After defeating the Rams, the Packers hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship. Again, here is how the two receivers faired in that contest:
| Player | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns |
| MVS | 4 | 115 | 1 |
| Lazard | 3 | 62 | 0 |
Based on these games, the two receivers combined for roughly the same stats. In other words, they were equally productive. Clearly, the answer to the question must come from training camp and preseason games.
As head coach Matt LaFleur stated, no player that he deems valuable to the Packers’ preparation from Week One of the regular season will play a snap of any preseason games. That means that neither MVS nor Allen Lazard will be on the field in any of the team’s remaining preseason games. The answer to our question of who will be the number two receiver, then, will be determined in training camp.
The case for Allen Lazard to be the team’s number two wide receiver is that he is a reliable target. He had a 71.7% catch percentage last season, which was second on the team (behind Davante Adams). Additionally, Aaron Rodgers had a 124.5 passer rating when targeting Lazard. By comparison, he had a 109.9 passer rating when targeting MVS.
Lazard showcased his potential last season in the game in which he actually injured his core. Against the Saints in Week Three, Lazard had six receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown. For a brief moment, it appeared as if he had locked up the second receiver position for good.
Few wide receivers in the NFL last season were criticized as much as MVS was. That being said, few wide receivers are as fast as MVS is. While the drops were a problem last season, reports from training camp state that he is using his body less to catch passes, a technique that led to drops last season. If MVS can cut those dropped passes in half, the Packers will have a second 1,000 receiver on the team.
The reason why MVS put up the numbers he did was because of his speed. He is a lethal downfield weapon who can blow by most defenders. His 20.9 yards per reception last season led not only the Packers, but the entire NFL.
There is no clear answer to this question, and with limited eyes on the practice field it will be difficult to guess what Matt LaFleur is going to do. One thing is for sure, though: both players are highly qualified and will be key contributors to the Packers’ 2021 season, and hopefully their Super Bowl run.
