If you ask anyone who has been around the Green Bay Packers during training camp or watched their preseason games, their 2021 rookie class has a chance to do great things.
From top to bottom, there appears to be contributors all over the place. In a class of nine, eight players made the 53-man roster and the last one made the practice squad. There are also two immediate starters in the group and as many as four who could become so by the end of the season.
Let’s take a look at each member of the Packers’ rookie class and make one bold prediction for what the upcoming season holds for them.
Here’s one bold prediction for each member of what has the makings of a very strong rookie class for the Green Bay Packers.
Packers’ rookie class bold prediction: Kylin Hill will have 50 touches on offense.
Kylin Hill has impressed from the start of training camp and immediately separated himself as the third-string running back for Green Bay. He may not be a traditional between the tackles type runner, but he’s hard to bring down in open space. He’ll be a nice weapon in the passing game–especially on dump-offs and screens–and will return kicks as well. Don’t be surprised to see Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers get him the ball a few times a game.
