1 surprising Green Bay Packers player who could make or break 2025 NFL season

The Green Bay Packers had a strong season, but ultimately fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card Round. While they were not awful last season, that game showed some cracks in the foundation. The Packers' defense could not stop Saquon Barkley and failed to pressure Jalen Hurts. Lukas Van Ness recorded just one solo tackle in that game, failing to make an impact in that game.

Even with that, Van Ness can be a Packers' breakout player in his third season.

When Green Bay drafted Van Ness with the 13th overall pick, they expected him to be an impact player.
