The Green Bay Packers have high expectations for their 2022 rookie class, including multiple players who can start as soon as Week 1.

Green Bay will have all offseason to ramp up the heat and prepare their first-year players for their first taste of life in the NFL. That will have to be enough time to get them up to speed, as the Packers are hoping to replace a lot of veteran production with rookies.

Let’s take a moment to check out four rookies who could start immediately.

There are four members of the Green Bay Packers’ rookie class that could earn a starting spot for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.

There are a lot of question marks about the Packers’ offensive line at this point in the offseason. They have a few staples in David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins and Josh Myers, but have several questions as well.

One of those questions that will determine whether Sean Rhyan starts immediately is the health of Bakhtiari and Jenkins. Rhyan can play at either guard spot and probably right tackle as well. He’ll have numerous opportunities to earn a starting spot even if Bakhtiari and Jenkins are ready. But if they’re out, those chances skyrocket.
