At the conclusion of the 2024 season, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst called for his team to ramp up their sense of “urgency” and get back to competing for championships in 2025.
Based on how some of Green Bay’s key players and leaders have been speaking at OTAs, the message has clearly resonated.
An increased level of urgency is manifesting itself through a concerted emphasis on leadership within the locker room, something which was mentioned consistently by the Packers’ veterans when speaking with the media.
Leadership at the player level tends to begin with the quarterback, and head coach Matt LaFleur pushing Jordan Love to be more vocal entering his third year as the starter.
