Packers News, 10/4: Current and former Packers receivers look for history

The Green Bay Packers have a long, storied history at the wide receiver position. Starting with Don Hutson, who revolutionized the position, and carrying through to today, the Packers have rarely if ever been without a player who would reasonably be considered a star wideout.

Currently, the team has a large group of good players there, but Jayden Reed looks like he is on the road to stardom. He also has a chance on Sunday to do something that nobody has done in almost 40 years and that displays his versatility.

Looking back, however, there appears to be some renewed interest in a certain snubbed Packers wideout who deserves more consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Sterling Sharpe has been held out too long, and he took a significant step forward on Thursday with an announcement coming out of Canton, Ohio.

Let's check out stories on those two players as well as a few other members of the Packers' current receiving corps as the team prepares for a trip to Los Angeles this weekend.
