A banner Green Bay Packers 2014 regular season ended in overtime heartbreak in last postseason's NFC Championship game, but this year's squad isn't moping around and feeling bad for last year's gutting finish. With that being said and the 2015 season right around the corner, here's
1. The offensive line remains a world-class unit
How do you ensure your offense zips along at record efficiency? You couldn't do much better than employing the men who make up the most impenetrable offensive line in all of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy are poised to push greatness to new heights in 2015, and a lot of that has to do with the men in front of them. You don't win championships when you're biggest offensive weapons aren't protected. That's not a problem in Green Bay as the Packers return most of a unit that has been utterly dominant in the trenches in recent years.
2. Eddie Lacy is ready for another 'leap'
Two 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start his career is fantastic enough, but Lacy's primed to be a #1 fantasy stud in 2015. Call it intuition, but his growth as a safety-valve receiver and his 1/2 yard increase per carry last season (from 4.1 to 4.6) portend great things to come in 2015.
3. Damarious Randall is ready to shine
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt has made starters out of defensive backs with 1/4 of Randall's skill set, and while his true cover skills are a work in progress, the much-ballyhooed draft selection's athleticism and ball skills/instincts should instantly sure up the back of Green Bay's defense. He's been right on track through OTAs and camp, so there's no reason to believe he'll be anything other than a standout during his rookie season.
