Last week, we discussed the most prominent roster strengths the Packers have going into the 2019 season. There is a lot to be excited about regarding this team. Matt LaFleur brings a fresh approach and can rejuvenate the on-field product as well as the locker room culture. Aaron Rodgers is excited about this offense and…
Roster strengths going into Packers’ 2019 season
Putting it lightly, the 2018 Green Bay Packers left a lot to be desired. Injuries took their toll, as seems to so often be the case, exposing lack of depth at key positions.

What to expect from Jace Sternberger in Year 1
