Quick Take

  • Offense: Aaron Rodgers leads a revamped QB room with Howard and Rudolph, while Metcalf bolsters a deep WR corps. The O-line, anchored by Frazier and Jones, looks solid but untested.
  • Defense: T.J. Watt headlines a ferocious linebacker group, supported by a stout D-line with Heyward and Benton. The secondary, featuring Ramsey and Slay, aims to lock down opposing passing attacks.
  • Special Teams: Boswell remains a reliable kicker, with Waitman stepping up as punter.
  • Looking Ahead: Injuries and waiver claims could shuffle the roster before Week 1. Keep an eye on potential IR returns or veteran additions.
