The Green Bay Packers had an interesting 2024 campaign. While they posted an 11-6 record, the strength of the NFC made it so that they did not win their division, the NFC North. In fact, they didn't even finish second in the division, as they finished in third place, and eventually settled for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture. With that in mind, the strength of the division led to some interesting comments from safety Xavier McKinney.

After spending the first four seasons of his career in the NFC East with the New York Giants, McKinney signed with Green Bay on a four-year, $68 million contract, and promptly earned the first Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections of his career.
