These three particular Green Bay Packers’ players will be potential X-Factors on the offensive side of the ball in 2020.

The 2019 season went about as good as it could have for the Green Bay Packers. Although it ended quite ugly, with a first-year head coach, Green Bay was able to go 13-3 during the regular season, including 6-0 in the NFC North, while earning the NFC’s No. 2 seed and making it to the NFC Championship Game.

However, despite their success, there are many who are down on this Packers team heading into 2020 primarily because of how the offseason went.

With Bryan Bulaga heading to Los Angeles via free agency, the Green Bay Packers would downgrade at the right tackle position and they didn’t bother spending a draft pick on the position either. Which ended up being a common theme.

Two other major holes that they wouldn’t address in the draft included receiver and defensive tackle. And while they would draft a linebacker, it wasn’t until Day 3.

So with pretty much the same roster that they had in 2019, if Green Bay is going to get over the hump and make it back to the Super Bowl, they’ll need young players or players who have struggled recently to step up and play much larger roles.

I call these players X-Factors. While everyone may have a slightly different definition of the term, to me it is a player that can help take the team to another level if they are able to produce. So with that in mind, when looking at the Green Bay Packers’ offense in 2020, these are my three potential X-Factors.
