The Green Bay Packers have some clear-cut favorites to win the Team Awards, but some darkhorses could surprise. Here are our predictions for who can win in 2018.

It’s preseason for the NFL, and that means predictions for everything under the sun. From record predictions to the way-too-early Super Bowl picks, August is the prime season for making projections. And that’s not different here. The Green Bay Packers got a game in the books and while most of the starters didn’t play, it’s still pretty easy to see where their future lies.

For the Packers, their 100th season brings a lot of intrigue and expectations up and down the roster. And for that, we’ll also add a few new awards. There is the obvious MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, among others, but we’ll also take a look at some of the lesser known guys as well to get some shine of Special Teams, and Scout Team. It’ll cover the roster top to bottom while also giving a preview of the team throughout the year.

So, let’s dive in and look at the Packers roster and preview the 2018 season by looking at the team awards. We’ll start with the rookies.
