I’m not going to say it’s a rare trait for rookies, but, as focused as he is, I feel like he’s definitely going to be able to have a great impact,” Adams said. “And I feel like he should have gotten drafted a lot higher based on what I’ve been seeing out there. He’s got great body control."

"His willingness to learn is really what gets me more than anything," he said. "A lot of guys come in and you can see the athleticism, which he has a ton of, but I feel like his attention to detail (is special) coming in."

Dupre dove into the playbook from Day 1 and has become a daily bookworm of the Packers’ playbook. Fellow young Packers receivers have been pleasantly surprised by Dupre’s knowledge and awareness on the field.

“He’s picking up on the material fast,” Packers second-year wide receiver Geronimo Allison said. “He’s coming in hungry. He’s working hard. You can tell he’s in the playbook. Any opportunities that he gets, he’s going out there and play fast and make that adjustment pretty smoothly right now.”

Packers wide receivers coach Luke Getsy hasn’t had a lot of time to work with Dupre, but he’s certainly left a lasting mark. At 6-foot-3, Dupre is a big target in the passing game.

“I really like him. He’s a sharp young man, very bright,” Getsy said. “He played in somewhat of a pro-style system, so that helped. So some terminology and things like that, he’s able to pick up on relatively quick. He’s a good-looking, tall, long guy that can run. And we’re excited about where we can go.”
