Aaron Rodgers’ status key to NFC North rivals’ 2021 hopes

The Bears drafted a potential franchise quarterback, but haven’t proven they know what to do with one — and don’t even know when he’ll play.

The Vikings fortified their offensive line but waited until the third round to address a defense that plummeted from fifth to 29th in points allowed last season.

The Lions drafted a potential generational offensive tackle, but they’re still the Lions — hoping a regressing Jared Goff will be better than Matthew Stafford, who threw for more yards, threw more touchdown passes and had a higher passer rating than Goff last season.

Still, the Packers are the biggest x-factor in the NFC North following the NFL Draft, with disgruntled quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ future in jeopardy.
