Samori Toure has sparked the praise of the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver coach Jason Vrable, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Thursday.

Vrable said that the rookie from Nebraska has shown the ability to find space against top corners Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes. Though Toure has been on the scout team for most of the year, he appeared in his first NFL game this past Saturday and caught his first NFL pass for 4 yards.

Toure spent the majority of his collegiate years at Montana, but he transferred to the Cornhuskers program for his senior year. At Nebraska, he caught 46 passes for 898 yards and 5 scores along with a rushing touchdown.

His performance was good enough to hear his name called in the 7th round of this year’s draft, and he seems to be catching some eyes early.

With all the issues Green Bay has had at receiver this season, it will be interesting to see if Toure can carve out a role working with QB Aaron Rodgers. So far, it at least sounds like Toure is impressing the coaching staff in his efforts to get on the field.
