5. Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is a no-brainer so let’s just get him out of the way. We all saw what happened last season when he went down with a broken collarbone against the Minnesota Vikings and basically missed the rest of the season. It wasn’t pretty.

New general manager Brian Gutekunst tried to ensure the Packers wouldn’t have the same type of fallout this season if Rodgers goes down again. He traded Damarius Randall for DeShone Kizer in order to liven up the backup competition. With Kizer and Brett Hundley battling it out, things are sure to get interesting this summer.

No matter who wins, Rodgers is absolutely irreplaceable on this team. He is a nightmare to gameplan against and can win any game by himself. He also elevates the play of all his teammates and is a big reason why so many receivers have had great careers in Green Bay. Rodgers is No. 5 on this list, but is unquestionably the most irreplaceable player the Packers have.
