Just because the 2024 NFL Draft and subsequent undrafted free agent frenzy are over for the Green Bay Packers does not mean the work is. At this point in the offseason, teams will double back with veterans who are still looking for a place to play in 2024, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Center Josh Myers is entering the last year of his rookie deal, and the Green Bay Packers don't have an obvious long-term answer at this point. Or at least that's the external perception.
Every NFL season there are players that exceed expectations or improve their game and players who have disappointing years. It could be due to injuries, coaching, a slump, the system the players are in, or a combination of other factors.
The Green Bay Packers have won three straight games and four of their last five after a slow start. While players like Jordan Love and Rashan Gary have made headlines, here is a look at five Packers players who have quietly been playing well in recent games.
When Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love faced the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021, he was blitzed on 21 of 39 dropbacks. That’s how esteemed defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo rolls.

The Green Bay Packers put together a strong all-around performance on Sunday afternoon to pick up a victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1.

Heading into training camp, one of the strengths of the Green Bay Packers was their offensive line. When healthy, this unit has the ability to be one of the best in the NFL; the last time David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins played together, they were both Pro Bowlers as the most dominant left side in the league.
At the start of OTAs, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich and offensive line coach Luke Butkus said Zach Tom would challenge for a starting position at right tackle, right guard and center.
