Behind the Steel Curtain on Germie Bernard
From the article
I don't want to overhype a preseason performance that accounted for just 48 passing snaps, but Bernard made quite the impact in his limited playing time. He drew eight targets, which equates to a target share of roughly 17 percent. For comparison, DK Metcalf led the team in target share in 2025 with 19.5%. Bernard turned those targets into five receptions for 64 yards (12.8 Y/REC) and a score.
STACKED’s take
Bernard's 17% preseason target share and 7.0 ADOT fit Rodgers' quick-release system.
Second-round rookie wide receiver absent from the Week 1 depth chart but the source expects him to see early-season impact. In limited preseason action (48 passing snaps), Bernard drew eight targets (17% target share; for comparison, DK Metcalf led the team in 2025 with 19.5%), converting them into five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown with 12.8 Y/REC. He created 46 yards after the catch, forced nearly as many missed tackles (4) as receptions, and posted an average depth of target of just 7.0 yards—appealing for Aaron Rodgers, whose 2025 ADOT was 6.4 yards. Roman Wilson barely has more on-field NFL experience than Bernard entering his third pro season, and Wilson was generating camp buzz last summer too but hasn't translated it to game production. The source notes Bernard is a far more versatile piece who can play all three receiver positions, whereas Wilson really needs to play in the slot to succeed.
