Packers Storylines to Watch

- Josh Jacobs’ Impact: The addition of Josh Jacobs to the backfield brings a new dynamic to the Packers’ offense. How he meshes with the existing offensive scheme and his production will be closely monitored.
- Defensive Improvements: With key departures in the secondary and linebacker corps, the Packers will need their young defensive players to step up. The performance of rookies and second-year players will be critical for the defense’s success.
- Wide Receiver Corps: The emergence of Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs as reliable targets for Love was a bright spot in 2023. Their continued development, along with Christian Watson‘s potential return to form, could make the Packers’ passing attack formidable.
