After a surprising season in 2023, the Green Bay Packers head into the 2024 with an improved roster, looking to seize the NFC North once again. The Packers, lead by franchise quarterback Jordan Love, have a real shot at success in the NFC this season.
The maturity and growth of Green Bay from a season ago will be the most important factor in 2024. In 2023, the Packers had "by far" the youngest roster in the entire National Football League. Despite this, they were a score away from going to the NFC Championship game.
Jordan Love has taken over the franchise quarterback role, since Aaron Rodgers departed Green Bay, and has thrived in this new position. Despite having to work with an inexperienced receiver room and not having that true number one wide receiver, Love made all of his weapons better throughout the 2023 season.
The Packers made a change to their running back room this offseason after letting go Aaron Jones and replacing him with Josh Jacobs. Green Bay is hoping Jacobs brings a big spark to this offense to help out Jordan Love in his second year as starting quarterback. With the Packers having one of the best young coaches in the NFL, I'm looking forward to seeing how Matt LaFleur incorporates Jacobs into this young and dynamic offense.
Other than the revamping of the running back room, the Packers made only a few key changes to the defense this offseason. They signed safety Xavier McKinney and released linebacker De'Vondre Campbell. Other than that, the team looks a lot similar to the team we saw get to the NFC Divisional Round.
Although Aaron Rodgers left Green Bay in the dust just over a year ago, fans in upstate Wisconsin have not had to wait anytime at all for a rebuild of their beloved Packers. I expect the Packers to be real threats in the NFC and definitely improve from their 9-8 record just a season ago behind the leadership of Jordan Love. As Jaire Alexander said, "The Pack is Back."
