Green Bay Packers 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch
The Packers made a leap in 2024, transforming from solid to elite on both sides of the ball. Bold free agency moves paid off across the board, cementing Green Bay as a serious contender in just their second year without Aaron Rodgers.
In 2025, they broke a two-decade trend by drafting a wide receiver in the first round, sending a clear message that they are fully committed to giving Jordan Love everything he needs to succeed.
The NFC North will not make it easy, but Green Bay has proven time and again that they belong in the playoff mix. Expect nothing less this season.
