The Green Bay Packers have their postseason position all locked up at this point and all they must do is wait to see who they’ll play. Well, wait and play one more regular season game against the Detroit Lions.

At 13-3, Green Bay has won 13 games for the third consecutive season–an NFL record–and exerted their dominance once again. Now, they will try to get over the NFC Championship hump that has haunted them for the past two seasons.

In order for the Packers to achieve their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, however, they need bigger contributions from these seven players.

If the Green Bay Packers want to finally advance to the Super Bowl this season, these seven players must improve their game.

Packers who need to improve for Super Bowl run: Royce Newman

Royce Newman has started every game at guard for the Packers during his rookie season and has been impressive in many ways. He’s shown he belongs at the NFL level and that he’s not in over his head.

Well, mostly not in over his head. He struggles mightily with stunts and never seems to recognize them quickly enough. This leads to pressures on Aaron Rodgers and forces him to get the ball out quickly or risk getting sacked. He must cut out these boneheaded plays in both facets of the game if they want to maximize their protection of Rodgers.
