The Green Bay Packers are going to be without veteran pass-catcher Christian Watson for a large portion of the 2025 season as he continues to battle back from his ACL tear that he suffered late last season. This means that head coach Matt LaFleur is going to need one of his other young wide receivers to step up. Dontayvion Wicks Could Emerge While the likes of Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and first-round rookie Matthew Golden could gain plenty of attention, third-year wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks could be the x-factor in that position group. A former fifth-round pick out of Virginia, Wicks…
In parts of the last three seasons, the Packers have had to work hard to identify their long-term solution at placekicker. After saying goodbye to Mason Crosby and being put through the ringer with the likes of Anders Carlson and Brayden Narveson, the franchise has finally found its long-term option in Brandon McManus, who kicked at an elite level last season. Brandon McManus Earned His New Contract A former Super Bowl champion, McManus was the longtime kicker for the Denver Broncos for nine seasons (2014-2022) before bouncing between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Washington Commanders each of the last two…
The Green Bay Packers did an outstanding job identifying their next head coach after Mike McCarthy’s time was over in Green Bay nearly seven years ago. That next head coach has quickly risen the ranks to become one of the NFL’s best. Matt LaFleur’s Results It is hard to find a better start to an NFL head-coaching career than Matt LaFleur’s. After getting hired in the offseason before the 2019 season, LaFleur would go on to quickly find his footing on Lombardi Avenue. In his first three seasons, he would go on to post three consecutive seasons with 13 or…
He might not be the offense’s biggest name or have the most talented skill set, but Romeo Doubs should still be considered the top wide receiver in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense. While numbers can tell one story, big plays in big moments can tell another. Romeo Doubs Makes Plays When It Matters While the former Nevada star might not be recording 1,000+ receiving yards on 90+ receptions each year, he knows how to be clutch for the Packers in the right moments. Whether it was as a rookie trying to prove himself to Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers…
In defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s first season with the Packers last year, his defense more than showed out for him as it finished the season sixth in total defense. For Hafley, the defensive backs are the backbone of his entire unit. It All Starts With Xavier McKinney It is hard to find a more impactful player on the back end of any defense than Packers safety Xavier McKinney. The former New York Giant signed a four-year, $67 million deal with the Packers last offseason and played like he was worth more. He became the first player since the 1970 merger…

Green Bay Packers three-time Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark is the longest-tenured player on the roster, which means he is a beloved member on the field and in the community. But after a disappointing 2024 season, it is time for the former UCLA Bruin to bounce back in a big way this season. Kenny Clark Needs to Find Production Again Two seasons ago, Clark put together the best season of his career from a pass-rush perspective because he was always around the ball. He set career marks in sacks (7.5) and tied a career-high in both forced fumbles (2) and…
On Lombardi Avenue, the backfield is dominated by one of the best offensive players in the NFL in All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs. However, that doesn’t mean he is the only quality running back in the Packers’ offense. Emanuel Wilson is More Than Just a Running Back After going undrafted out of Fort Valley State and getting cut by the Denver Broncos, Wilson has been able to fight his way onto the Packers’ 53-man roster each of the past two seasons. Last season was easily the best season of his young career, as he rushed the ball 103 times for…
Perhaps the worst part of the Green Bay Packers’ 2024 season, aside from it ending in the first round of the playoffs, was the ACL tear that wide receiver Christian Watson suffered in the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears.

Again, Elgersma comes from U Sports Football, which…
The Green Bay Packers have been one of the NFL’s best offensive teams for what feels like the last three decades, especially when you consider who the head coaches and starting quarterbacks have been. But whoever has been in the offensive coordinator role has meant just as much to the team, and most recently, the man in that chair has been none other than Adam Stenavich. Adam Stenavich’s Days with the Packers Are Numbered Stenavich, a former Packers offensive lineman himself back in 2006, was hired by Packers head coach Matt LaFleur in 2019 as the team’s offensive line coach.…

In defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s first season with the Packers, his defense was one of the top units in the entire league. However, likely his best player on the defensive line struggled to stay at his best because of a recurring foot injury. Kenny Clark Was Not Healthy To put the season performance for the Packers in perspective, on defense, they were ranked as the sixth-best total defense (315.6 yards allowed per game), the seventh-best run defense (99.4 yards allowed per game), and their 45 sacks were tied for eighth-best. They accomplished all of that without a healthy Kenny Clark,…
In professional sports, when a contract dispute is taking place between a star player and their team, the player usually tends to stay away until he or she signs the contract.
