The Green Bay Packers were hopeful that Jordan Love would establish himself as their next franchise quarterback going into the 2023 season after trading four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets during the offseason.
The team made an effort to surround Love with the league's youngest collection of skilled players in the hope that they would gel at some point in the season, and that's precisely what took place.
The second half of the season saw the Packers' offensive crop play at a very high level, which helped them qualify for the postseason. Even though they eventually fell short against the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round, it's clear that they have a strong enough foundation to build from in 2024.
In April, during the NFL draft, the Packers have a chance to improve their overall roster further. They are well-known for building their roster exclusively through the draft, depending on young players to stay fit and contend for titles.
