These four members of the Green Bay Packers have shown promising signs of breaking out early in the season and could do so following the bye.

Despite starting the season 4-0, the Green Bay Packers have room for improvement following their bye week. That’s good news for a team that hoped to close the gap between themselves and the elite teams in the NFL via internal improvement.

The Packers also have a number of challenging games on their schedule. They face playoff hopefuls in three of their next four games in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay will have to earn everything they’re given against those squads.

In order for them to take the next step, they’ll need better play from a number of guys on their roster. The following four players seem up to the challenge and have shown flashes of breaking out, but haven’t put it all together quite yet.
