Recently I posed the same question to Brian Carriveau's Packers Q & A Mail Bag dated June 5, 2015 on Twitter. Below is the question and his response posted on the blog site@247Sports. After reading the brief Twitter exchange, you tell us, which Packer rookie will make the biggest impact or splash and why in 2015?

Question From: Todd Stelzel 

Which rookie makes biggest impact and why? My guess is Ty Montgomery. He can return kicks/punts and play wide receiver.

Reply Back From: Brian Carriveau 

Let me be clear, Ty Montgomery could very well be that guy. I like him too, but let me play devil's advocate. Montgomery will be the fourth wide receiver on the depth chart in a best-case scenario, and even that's an iffy proposition if a second-year player like Jared Abbrederis or Jeff Janis emerges.
And while Montgomery looks to be a good bet to return kickoffs, it might be difficult for him to unseat Micah Hyde on punt returns after averaging an impressive 13.6 yards per attempt and scoring three touchdowns in his first two seasons. 

My choice for the rookie making the biggest impact isn't exactly outside the box, but I'll go with Damarious Randall. It might take him a little time to get used to playing cornerback in the NFL, but the Packers are going to give him every chance to succeed or fail. You don't invest a first-round pick into a player like that if you don't think he can do it. And at minimum, Randall figures to be playing a role on the special teams coverage units from Day 1, a place he seems ideally suited to make an impact.

Final Thought From: Todd Stelzel

So...Having read the exchange, you tell us...Which Packer rookie do you think makes the biggest impact or splash in 2015? Would love to hear from you! On that note, #Go Pack Go!
