The roster has evolved in unexpected ways.
When the 2023 Green Bay Packers gathered to begin training camp last summer the plan was pretty clear, and it seemed solid. The strategy was to surround first year starter Jordan Love with enough veteran talent to provide leadership and productivity, while gradually developing several promising rookies.
The Packers would emphasize the running game to take the pressure off Love. A highly regarded, experienced offensive line would pave the way for that. It would be led by all pro David Bakhtiari and rising star Elgton Jenkins on the left side, and a third year starter Josh Myers at center.
