Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the team had big plans for rookies Jordan Morgan and MarShawn Lloyd before injuries mostly wrecked the first seasons for both draft picks in 2024.
“Yeah, that was the plan this year,” LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on the “Matt LaFleur Podcast” following the season.
Lloyd, a third-round pick, played in only one game — Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts — while battling through hip, ankle and hamstring injuries and an emergency surgery for appendicitis.
LaFleur said the Packers are still excited about Lloyd’s explosiveness and potential in the passing game despite what ended up being a nightmare first season for the rookie.
