This is the core group of players the Packers will rely heavily on to produce this season. Each and every one of these players must play up to their potential in order for Green Bay to maximize their talent.
Kizer jumped into this group after Brett Hundley was traded, as he was previously in the four-star category. Most of these players are starters and will play heavily. Others, such as JK Scott or Josh Jackson are draft picks that have shown potential and are likely protected by their draft status even with their great play this preseason.
Aaron Jones will be added to this group after he serves his two-game suspension. That will likely mean the Packers can keep an extra player at a position (wide receiver) to begin the season that they normally wouldn’t.
Note: Aaron Jones will be added after Week 2.
