Young, developing players so often drive the most important improvement for NFL teams year over year. The Green Bay Packers are no different, despite using free agency more in recent years, and several second- and third-year players must get better to help Matt LaFleur's team improve in a meaningful way and be better prepared for a long playoff run in 2025.
Between the 2023 and 2024 draft class, the Packers still have 19 players on the 90-man roster, and many will be competing for important roles in 2025.
Here are our picks for the most important young players needing to improve for the Packers this season:
Zach Kruse
Second-year player - OL Jordan Morgan: The Packers were good along the offensive line for most of the 2024 season, but they could be great in 2025 if Morgan -- a 2024 first-round pick -- takes a step forward, wins a starting job at left tackle or right guard and gives the Packers above average play at either position.
