Brian Gutekunst deserves credit for Packers’ rise to the top

When Brian Gutekunst took over the general manager role, a lot of work needed to be done to the Green Bay Packers‘ roster.

Aaron Rodgers‘ collarbone injury had exposed major flaws across the board as the Packers slumped to a 7-9 record and playoff-less football for the first time in almost a decade. Tasked with the tough job of putting together a quick rebuild, Gutekunst got to work.

Two years later, this team is preparing for an NFC Championship clash with the San Francisco 49ers.

First of all, let’s applaud Matt LaFleur for his tremendous work in his first year as head coach.
