Under-the-radar breakout candidates for Packers in 2023

Pro Football Focus believes Christian Watson, Josh Myers and Devonte Wyatt could be breakout players for the Green Bay Packers in 2023. Jordan Love, Romeo Doubs, Zach Tom and TJ Slaton are other potential breakout candidates entering the season.

But almost every year, a player breaks out unexpectedly (see: Keisean Nixon as a kick returner last season).

So, who are some under-the-radar breakout candidates for the Packers in 2023?

Our staff at Packers Wire made their picks:
