A large group of free agents, draft picks, and undrafted rookies will come to training camp to challenge for roster spots and roles on the team’s 53-man roster. Over the next two weeks, Acme Packing Company will break down the roster position by position and reveal our compiled predictions for the 53-man roster.The arrival of head coach Matt LaFleur means a heavier emphasis on tight end than in the Packers’ recent past even if most of the personnel remains intact from a season ago. The team will likely continue turning over the position in coming years, but expect some familiar faces to see the majority of the action until that process unfolds.Starter: Jimmy GrahamFor whatever disappointment the Packers felt with Jimmy Graham’s 2018 season, they felt adequately confident in his ability to bounce back within a new offense. Graham has never blocked well (or, at times, at all) and his speed has abandoned him as he approaches his 33rd birthday, but he remains an incredibly long target who knows how to work the seams and dominate near the goal line. Having two healthy thumbs again should also aid his cause.Backups: Marcedes Lewis, Jace Sternberger, Robert Tonyan Jr.The Packers probably don’t yet know how they’ll divvy up the snaps between their reserve tight ends, but at least one should receive plenty of work given LaFleur’s penchant for 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends). Marcedes Lewis seems the best equipped to handle the responsibilities of the Y tight end, but Robert Tonyan could factor into that discussion if his blocking has improved. Jace Sternberger probably needs a year or so to adjust to NFL defenses, though his workload could increase as the season progresses.***Released: Evan Baylis, Pharoah McKeverWith four tight ends already on the roster, the Packers simply don’t have room for either of their developmental fliers. Evan Baylis spent time on the team’s practice squad and could return there next season. Pharoah McKever would probably have to outperform him for the spot Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , if one indeed exists. Could it really be anyone else?" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShare2019 Packers 90-man roster ranking, #1: Aaron Rodgers looks for revitalization with Matt LaFleurPhoto by Dylan Buell/Getty ImagesThe countdown of the Green Bay Packers’ 90-man roster comes to a close today, as we reveal the top player on the roster. This one will be no surprise, as the unanimous vote by APC’s contributors puts the most important player at number one on the countdown.He might come up short in beer-chugging ability to the player ranked second on our list, but he is still the player who is responsible for moment after moment that make Packers fans wonder “how did he do that?” 1. Aaron Rodgers, quarterbackIt couldn’t be anyone else. Yes, Rodgers had a down year by his standards in 2018, and despite a slight uptick in numbers in 2016 — buoyed by the late-season “Run the Table” streak — he has been different since early in the 2015 season. However, Rodgers is still one of the most talented throwers of the football in the game, and he is the unquestioned king of the broken play.Of course, broken plays cannot make up an entire offense, and that seemed to be the only way that the Packers could move the football last season. Rodgers reportedly ignored Mike McCarthy’s playcalls on occasion, drawing up his own plays in the huddle and often getting results. Rodgers also set a single-season career high with three fourth-quarter comebacks a year ago, as the Packers pulled out thrilling victories over the Chicago Bears in week one (more on that in a moment), the San Francisco 49ers in week six, and the New York Jets in week 16. He also took 49 sacks, two shy of his career high for a single season, losing a career-high 353 yards on those plays. One sack https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , early in that first game of the season against Chicago, set the stage for the most absurd comeback of the year, but hampered him for the remainder of the season. The severity of Rodgers’ injury — a tibial plateau fracture — would not be known until after the campaign was over, and a re-injuring of his leg just as it seemed to be feeling better was also unknown until later.Last year, Rodgers also avoided turnovers at a historic rate. He threw just two interceptions, and set the NFL record for most consecutive pass attempts without a pick (though there were a few drops by defenses in that streak).However, the possibility of Rodgers returning to his 2011 or 2014 form exists. In those seasons, he worked within his offensive scheme, throwing in rhythm rather than relying on extending plays. When he has been in that frame of mind, he has won MVP awards. The challenge facing new head coach Matt LaFleur is to get Rodgers to buy in — to avoid freelancing and to trust that the calls coming in from the sideline are going to work.So far through about two weeks of OTA practices, all appears to be well. Both LaFleur and Rodgers have been nothing but complimentary of the other, with Rodgers in particular speaking excitedly before practices began about what he has seen from the offenses LaFleur has run in the past.A rejuvenated and healthy Rodgers can not only be the best player on the Packers’ roster, but the best player in the NFL. Here’s hoping that the MVP Rodgers is the one who shows up in 2019, because if that is the case, a deep run in the playoffs should follow.
