The Green Bay Packers have no shortage of talent on the offensive side of the ball, with many of them young, hopefully ascending players.

As Green Bay’s offense looks to go up another gear, there are still areas for improvement for all of their key contributors. Here is one way each player can progress in 2025:

Jordan Love – Completion percentage

Love’s big time throw rate was down last year and his turnover worthy play rate was up, which is not a great combination, but he has graded out well in those statistics in the past.

His various injuries and the impact it had on Green Bay’s style of play on offense likely had something to do with those numbers regressing, and they should naturally rebound in 2025.

While Love has the ability to make jaw dropping throws with regularity, he still needs to do a better job of making the gimmes. He ranks below average among qualified quarterbacks in adjusted completion percentage since becoming the starter.

The good news is he improved from the 26th to the 43rd percentile between 2023 and 2024, despite his overall completion percentage dropping, mostly due to an unprecedented number of drops from his pass catchers.

If Love can make the routine throws look routine, his overall numbers could look a lot better this year.

Josh Jacobs – Fumbles

Jacobs was below average compared to his positional peers in breakaway rate and explosive run rate in 2024, but he was right around the career average he had previously set in those marks. He is a chain moving bellcow back, not a home run hitter.

Where he can improve in 2025 though is ball security. Jacobs had five fumbles last year, ranking in the 28th percentile for fumbles per carry.

One of them came on the doorstep of the end zone against the Colts in week two. He also killed a promising opening drive against the Vikings late in the year by coughing up the football, and fumbled in both games versus the Eagles.

Fumbles are not the barometer by which running backs should be measured by any means, but taking care of the ball is vital, and Jacobs needs to tighten it up in year two with the Packers.

Jayden Reed – Drops

Almost every one of Jayden Reed’s underlying numbers improved between his rookie and sophomore season, but his overall progress was overshadowed by the drops which plagued his season.

He ranked 108th out of 112 qualified receivers in drop rate after being very reliable in that regard as a rookie. If he bounces back in that regard in 2025, look out.

Romeo Doubs – Drops

Doubs is not Green Bay’s most dynamic or high upside receiver, but has earned a reputation as the ‘bucket getter’ in the Packers offense, whom Love can rely on if he needs a play.

If that is going to be the case, he needs to be more surehanded. Doubs has ranked in the 26th percentile or lower in drop rate in two of his three NFL seasons so far.

He has strong hands and has excelled in contested catch situations, but needs to be more automatic on the simple catches.

Dontayvion Wicks – Contested catches

Wicks has had his own problems with drops, but those can come and go. Where he really needs to improve is winning contested catches.

The former fifth-round pick is a smooth route runner who can snap defenders off, but he is not a burner and is less likely to be wide open than some of Green Bay’s other receivers. As a bigger wideout who does lack top end speed, he has to be better at competing for the ball. 

Christian Watson – Target volume

There is little to nitpick with Watson’s overall game, and he has the profile to be a ‘number one’ wide receiver, but he has not been used that way through three seasons.

Both Doubs and Reed have averaged more targets per game played than Watson, and last year he ranked fourth among Green Bay’s receivers, behind Wicks as well, with just 3.53 targets per game.

Getting the ball thrown his way is not really something he can control, but despite his strong overall skillset, Watson has been an explosive play threat or clear out receiver for the most part, rather than a dominant WR1.

Tucker Kraft – Downfield receiving 

Kraft developed into one of Love’s top targets in 2024, but he did most of his work within ten yards of the line of scrimmage, leaning on his strong ability to break tackles and get yards after the catch.

As a better blocking tight end than Luke Musgrave, he is more often asked to stay in and chip off the snap before going out on routes, which naturally limits his ability to get deep downfield.

But he has the profile to threaten intermediate and deep downfield, and if he is to truly hit his ceiling as an all around tight end, it is an area of his game he must unlock.

Luke Musgrave – Missed tackles

Musgrave has elite speed for a tight end but famously struggles to stay on his feet even when he has no defenders around him. He too often goes down on first contact, and that makes him less viable as a target in the short area of the field, where the ability to get YAC is crucial.

If Musgrave wants to do more than run deep routes or get schemed open, he needs to do a better job of using his athletic gifts with the ball in his hands.

Rasheed Walker – Run blocking

Walker has developed from a seventh-round pick into a solid left tackle, especially in pass protection. However, he has ranked in just the 15th percentile as a zone run blocker in his two years as a starter and the 36th percentile when blocking up gap scheme run plays.

As the blindside protector for Love, pass blocking is obviously more important, but as the Packers look to become a more physical, dominating unit up front, Walker needs to do more to set the tone in the run game.

Zach Tom – Quarterback hurries

Having just been awarded a lucrative long-term contract extension, Tom has been a home run pick for the Packers and is one of the best right tackles in the NFL.

There is very little to complain about with Tom, who rarely gets his QB sacked or even hit, but he has arguably allowed too many low quality pressures, with 33 hurries in 2023 and 22 in 2024, ranking below average in hurries allowed per pass rush opportunity.

Elgton Jenkins – Penalties

As the veteran presence and rock of Green Bay’s offensive line, Jenkins needs to show more discipline. He was flagged ten times last year and ranks in the 36th percentile in penalties per snap since 2023.

Aaron Banks – Quarterback hurries

It is the same story for Green Bay’s new guard, who has only allowed three sacks in three years as a starter and one since 2023, but too often allows low quality pressures which could still impact the quarterback.

He has given up 77 hurries since 2022, ranking in the 22nd percentile among qualified guards in that time.

Sean Rhyan – Hits and sacks

The inverse of Tom and Banks, Rhyan does not allow all that many hurries (just 16 of them in 2024), but when he loses, he loses badly, allowing eight QB hits and four sacks last season.
