Former Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones rediscovered his form in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings. In his first season in Minnesota threads, Jones burned rubber for 1,138 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 255 carries to go along with 408 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 51 receptions and 62 targets. He showed that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank even though he’s already past the prime age for running backs. Jones, a product of the UTEP football program, will be turning 30 years old in December, but despite that, the Vikings decided to…

One of the biggest areas that the Green Bay Packers needed to address following the 2024 NFL season was the depth of their wide receiver room. They showed how serious they were on that front when they, for the first time since the early 2000s, used a first-round pick in the NFL draft on a wide receiver, with Green Bay taking former Texas Longhorns star wideout Matthew Golden with the No. 23 overall selection. It may take some more time for Golden to feel fully acclimated to the pro environment but he’s already came away with a strong impression from…
Jordan Love will always have all eyes on him. After all, he plays the most important position for a historic franchise. The Green Bay Packers still trust him to lead them to the top of the NFL, and it’s one that he doesn’t want to waste, as he looks forward to taking his game to the next level in the 2025 campaign. Love, who dealt with injuries in 2024, finished that season with 3,389 passing yards and 25 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. He took a step back compared to what he did in 2023, his first year as the Packers’…
The Green Bay Packers have bought in on Jordan Love, as evidenced by the fact that they signed him to a four-year, $220 million contract extension in 2024. Love knew at the time of his signing that he had big shoes to fill, considering that he is the successor of future Pro Football Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. While he’s not yet on the level of Rodgers, he’s shown the Packers glimpses of being the team’s long-term answer under center. To help Love become a true franchise quarterback, Green Bay got him some new weapons in the offseason, including wide…
Hopes were high for linebacker Lukas Van Ness to be an impactful player for the Green Bay Packers when they spent a high pick to get him in the 2023 NFL draft. Selected 13th overall in that year’s draft, Van Ness has been pedestrian on the field through his first two seasons in the league. There is a learning curve in the pros, and it’s different for each player. Van Ness could just be taking a little longer to finally feel comfortable about his role on the team, especially since the Packers moved from a 3-4 front to a 4-3…
The Green Bay Packers have one of the most iconic looks in the NFL, and they could be revealing some new outfit for the team, sort of. According to Andrew Lind of Sportslogos.net, the Packers are set to unveil throwback helmets and threads on July 23, the same day that Green Bay starts its training camp at Ray Nitschke Field. From Lind: “Meanwhile, on July 23, the Green Bay Packers will also reveal new throwback helmets and uniforms. While we initially believed the new helmets would be paired solely with their current 1950s throwback uniforms, it’s worth noting the Packers…
Josh Jacobs proved himself worthy of the contract the Green Bay Packers gave him in 2024 with an excellent first season with the team. Following the departure of Aaron Jones, the Packers found someone to cover the big void in the ground attack by inking Jacobs to a $48 million contract. With Jacobs, Green Bay had a legitimate weapon in the rushing attack who complemented the Jordan Love-led passing game. The Packers were sixth in the league in 2024 with an average of 144.6 rushing yards per game, thanks in large part to Jacobs’ legs. In a much better offensive…
The quarterback position is undoubtedly the most important position in football. The Green Bay Packers can consider themselves lucky to have such incredible and enviable luck when it comes to that front. From Bart Starr to Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, the Packers have enjoyed having a top quarterback running the show for the offense for a very long time. Although it remains to be seen just how far Green Bay will go with Jordan Love, it’s safe to say that the young quarterback has shown more than flashes that he’s capable of being a long-term presence under center for…
The 2025 training camp for the Green Bay Packers is just around the corner, and among the many players on the team fans are eager to observe is none other than rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden. There is a lot of hype surrounding Golden. For one, he’s the first wide receiver the Packers selected in the first round of an NFL draft after a very long while — since Javon Walker in 2002, to be exact. With Jordan Love under center and an elite running back in Josh Jacobs, the Packers are looking to see their offense elevate further in…
The Green Bay Packers are entering Year 3 of Jordan Love as their full-time starter. Love has shown he can be a capable leader under center for the Packers, even when considering the fact that he succeeded an all-time great in the form of Aaron Rodgers. Nevertheless, Love is still not quite on the level where he can be considered among the true legit guys in the position. Having signed a massive four-year contract extension worth $220 million with Green Bay in 2024 also added pressure on the shoulders of the former Utah State Aggies star signal-caller to deliver the…
