Finishing last season with an 11-6 record and a lopsided loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card game left the Green Bay Packers and the “Cheeseheads” wanting more. It’s been fourteen years since the Packers hoisted the Vince Lombardi trophy, and while the Aaron Rodgers era gave them numerous opportunities, they all fell short. With Jordan Love entering his third year as a full-time starting quarterback and various pieces in place, it looks like the Pack can be headed towards something special once again.
While the hype about Green Bay Packers rookies can be exactly that, just hype until proven otherwise, the incoming crew of eight first-year players could be exactly what is needed to help the team take the next step towards the mountain top.
