1. Joshua Jackson

Joshua Jackson is going to get baptized by fire going against Rodgers, DeShone Kizer and Brett Hundley in training camp. That’s a bit different than the quarterbacks he’s used to seeing at Iowa.

Still, Jackson proved to be a ball hawk in his lone starting season in college. This should carry over and allow him to make a number of plays in training camp. It will also help that the Packers have great depth at the position with Tramon Williams, Davon House, Jaire Alexander, Kevin King and Jackson himself. This should mean he’ll get some reps against the rookie receivers and players lower on that depth chart as well.

With Jackson looking to prove himself in order to earn playing time during the regular season, look for him to make some great plays in camp. His ball skills will allow him to wow his teammates, putting him as a leader to become one of the Packers’ training camp darlings.
