Now that it looks like there will be an NFL season this fall, it’s safe to start wondering about the Green Bay Packers’ prospects in their second season under coach Matt LaFleur.
The hope is that the Packers, who improved from 6-9-1 to 13-3 and reached the NFC Championship Game in LaFleur’s first season, will build on that impressive start and take the next step. That step, of course, is the Super Bowl.
It’s certainly a reasonable goal for a defending division champion with a future Hall of Famer in quarterback Aaron Rodgers, home-run hitters in wide receiver Devante Adams and running back Aaron Jones and the expectation the offense will make a natural improvement during its second season running LaFleur’s scheme.
