Allen Jamel Lazard (born December 11, 1995)[1] is an American professional football wide receiver for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Iowa State, initially signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He also has played for the Green Bay Packers.

Lazard was a highly-rated recruit coming out of high school, where he was named a USA Today High School All-American.[2] Lazard has been selected to the First-team All-Big 12 in both 2016[3] and 2017[4] and is Iowa State's career leader in both receptions[5] and receiving yards.[6]

Early life

At Urbandale High School, Lazard played high school football and was a four-year starter on both offense and defense. Lazard still holds the school career records in receptions (105), receiving yards (2,349), touchdowns (34) and interceptions (14).[7] His high school honors include but are not limited to: USA Today All American,[8] Des Moines Register's Offensive Player of the Year in 2013, Defensive Player of the Year in 2012,[9] and a three-time All-State selection.[10]

A consensus four-star wide receiver, Lazard was a highly touted recruit out of high school. He was ranked the No. 1 recruit of the state of Iowa and the 7th best receiver in the country by Rivals.[11] Lazard ultimately followed his father Kevin (1990–93)[12] and brother Anthony (2013–16) in playing for the Iowa State Cyclones over Notre Dame, Nebraska, Stanford, California and Iowa.[13]

Prior to enrolling at Iowa State, Lazard played in the 2014 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.[14]

Lazard signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2018.[49] He was waived on September 1, 2018, and was signed to the practice squad the next day.[50][51]

Green Bay Packers

2018 season

On December 18, 2018, Lazard was signed by the Green Bay Packers off the Jaguars' practice squad.[52]

2019 season

Lazard was waived on August 31, 2019, and was signed to the practice squad the next day. He was promoted to the active roster on September 4, 2019.[53] Lazard recorded his first professional touchdown, a 35-yard reception from Aaron Rodgers, during a Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions on October 14, 2019.[54] He had a breakout performance on December 1, 2019, in a 31–13 Week 13 victory over the New York Giants, posting three catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.[55] Overall, Lazard finished the 2019 season with 35 receptions for 477 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns, while also adding one rushing attempt for 21 yards.[56]

2020 season

On March 17, 2020, the Packers tendered Lazard as an exclusive-rights free agent.[57] He signed the one-year tender on April 27, 2020.[58] In the season-opener against the Minnesota Vikings, Lazard caught four passes for 63 yards and his first touchdown of the season during the 43–34 road victory.[59] During Sunday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, Lazard finished with six receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown in the 37–30 road victory.[60] He was placed on injured reserve on October 3, 2020, after undergoing core muscle surgery.[61] Lazard was activated on November 17, 2020.[62] In Week 12, in his second game off of injured reserve, Lazard caught his third touchdown of the season in a 41–25 victory over the Chicago Bears, along with 23 receiving yards.

2021 season

Lazard (right) in 2021

On July 28, 2021, Lazard signed his exclusive rights tender, keeping him in Green Bay for the 2021 season.[66] Lazard's season started off slowly, having 15 catches for 184 yards through the first eight games of the season. On October 26, ahead of the Packers' Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals, fellow wide receiver Davante Adams tested positive for COVID-19. Lazard, who was unvaccinated, was placed on the COVID-19/Reserve list due to being a close contact.[67] He was activated off the COVID-19/Reserve list on November 1, 2021.[68] Lazard was fined $14,650 for violating NFL COVID-19 protocols along with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.[69]

Lazard was the recipient of backup quarterback Jordan Love's first NFL touchdown in a Week 9 13–7 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs[70] Lazard picked up the pace through the second half of the season. In Week 14, Lazard had six receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown in a 45–30 win over the Bears. In Week 16, in a Christmas Day showdown with the Cleveland Browns, Lazard caught Rodgers' 443rd career touchdown pass with the Packers, breaking the previous record of 442, held by Brett Favre.[71] The following week, he caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown as the Packers won 37–10 against the Vikings to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. In the regular-season finale, Lazard played just one half as the Packers rested their starters in the second half against the Detroit Lions; despite that, Lazard matched a season-high 75 receiving yards and notched a career-high two touchdowns in a single game as the Packers lost on the road by a score of 37–30.[72]

Lazard finished the 2021 season with 40 receptions for 513 yards and eight touchdowns, all career highs. His five touchdowns over the final five weeks of the season were tied for second most in the NFL over that time span, second only to teammate Davante Adams.[73][74][75]

2022 season

On March 15, 2022, the Packers placed a second-round restricted free agent tender on Lazard.[76] It was signed on June 13, 2022.[77] In Week 4, against the New England Patriots, Lazard had six receptions for 116 receiving yards in the 27–24 overtime victory.[78] In the 2022 season, Lazard appeared in and started 15 games. He finished with 60 receptions for 788 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.[79]

New York Jets

On March 17, 2023, Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the New York Jets, preceding Rodgers' trade to New York from the Packers.[80] In 14 games in the 2023 season, he finished with 23 receptions for just 311 yards and one touchdown,[81] playing without Rodgers under center for the vast majority of the season as the latter suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in week 1.[82] With his signing seen by many as an "appeasement" move to get Rodgers to agree to the trade, Lazard was deactivated when Rodgers was ruled out the last two games of the season.[83]

The following season, Lazard caught Rodgers' first touchdown pass as a Jet during week 1. Despite dropping a crucial pass during the game's opening drive, Lazard finished with two touchdowns during the 32–19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.[84] In the first six games of 2024 alone, Lazard surpassed his total receptions and yards from the previous season and caught five touchdowns. On October 31, 2024, Lazard was placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury.[85] He was activated on December 7.
