5. JK Scott

JK Scott may have more pressure riding on him than anyone else on the roster. After using a fifth-round pick to select Scott out of Alabama, Green Bay released last year’s starter Justin Vogel. The thing is, Vogel wasn’t even that bad and could’ve provided some legitimate competition for Scott in training camp and the preseason.

However, it appeared Green Bay had seen what they wanted to out of Scott and were confident with him moving forward. He’s been able to show off his booming leg and great hang-time in practice, unfortunately, that hasn’t transferred to a live-game setting.

At this point, Scott isn’t in any danger of losing a roster spot (who else is Green Bay going to bring in?). However, he needs to transfer his success in practice to the game setting. With two games under his belt, now is the time for Scott to step it up.
