The slot receiver position is a very important position in these types of offenses. Ward Jr. has shown in the AAF he is capable of not only playing the slot receiver but could thrive at it.

If he keeps developing at a slot receiver, along with his ability as a punt returner, the Packers might want to think about looking at adding him.
