Packers: 5 most important offensive players heading into offseason workouts

Offseason workouts aren’t as important when you have a team full of veterans. However, it’s critical when you’re in the middle of a youth movement like the Green Bay Packers are.

Green Bay is in the middle of working through its phases. Phase 1 is meetings and strength-and-conditioning work, phase 2 is on-field group work and phase 3 is organized team activities (OTAs). OTAs begin May 22nd and will conclude in mid-June (they won’t be practicing every date during that period, only select ones). They have a mandatory minicamp from June 13-15 to finish their off-season workouts.

This is a crucial time for the young players to begin/continue learning the playbook, understand the nuances the coaching staff wants them to play with and build positive habits. It’s essential for these five offensive players on the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers are looking for several players to step up on offense and the offseason workouts will be critical for these five players.

Packers most important offensive players: Luke Musgrave/Tucker Kraft

The Packers could turn to two rookies to start immediately at one of the NFL’s most complex positions. It usually takes tight ends a couple of years to get their feet under them and understand the mental aspect. Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft will not be afforded that luxury.

They must hit the ground running this offseason and prove they are ready to handle a heavy workload. This includes both the mental and physical aspects of the game.
