Former Packers star praises Knox, knocks Hester

The Bears' trade for Jay Cutler came with an added bonus: the fifth-round draft pick that Denver included in the deal turned into Johnny Knox, who caught 45 passes for 527 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie.

Former Packers All-Pro wide receiver James Lofton was impressed, but not surprised.

"You're getting a good receiver in Johnny Knox," Lofton said Friday on "The Mully & Hanley Show" on WSCR-AM 670. " I like Johnny Knox. I worked him out during the off-season and I was really high on him. I was a little worried that he's not real big, but there are some guys who aren't real big that can play in the NFL, and he's one of them."

Asked about Bears' so-called No. 1 receiver Devin Hester, Lofton replied, "(Let's) leave it on a high note."
