There are important NFL players and then there are the players who shoulder the fate of their teams based on day-in, day-out performance during the season. These are the latter. Here are the 3 Players Who Will Make Or Break The Green Bay Packers' 2015 Season.
QB Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers is arguably the best player in the NFL when healthy, but he has dealt with concussion issues over the course of his career. This isn't so much about Rodgers producing - we all know just how deadly he can be - but as to if he can stay healthy, because the Packers aren't winning the Super Bowl without the MVP under center.
LB Sam Barrington
With Brad Jones and A.J. Hawk now playing for the Eagles and Bengals, respectively, Barrington will be relied on to be the anchor of Green Bay's linebacking core. The Packers' defense is expected to be better in 2015, but Barrington's production - good or bad - will be a big factor in deciding that.
RB Eddie Lacy
Two 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start his career is fantastic enough, but Lacy's primed to be a #1 fantasy stud in 2015. His growth as a safety-valve receiver and his 1/2 yard increase per carry last season (from 4.1 to 4.6) portends great things to come. However, he has also had problems staying healthy, and Green Bay needs him to be effective to keep defenses from focusing all their attention on the Packers' passing attack.
