The Packers were a young team in 2024, but not quite in the same way as in 2023. Last season, the Packers didn’t just play a bunch of rookies and other young players, they relied on them, counting on guys like Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft to elevate their offense, while fellow rookies Lukas Van Ness and Carrington Valentine played important roles on defense.
This year, we’ve seen plenty of good stuff from the Packers’ rookie class, but the available roles haven’t been quite as big. In fact, outside of Javon Bullard, none of the rookies had a tailor-made spot available for them to start the year.
