Suits up for every game
TEGreen Bay Packers
January 22, 2024
Sims was targeted six times and caught four passes for 21 yards and a touchdown over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Sims spent his rookie season in a bit role, but he suited up for all 17 regular-season games and both playoff contests the Packers played, which is not too shabby for an undrafted rookie who was claimed off waivers shortly before the campaign began. It's going to be tough for Sims to move up the depth chart with both players ahead of him (Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft) also heading into their second seasons, but Sims likely will head into training camp with a good chance to retain a roster spot.
