The Green Bay Packers are one of the big favorites for the 2022-2023 NFL season, they are likely to make it to the playoffs but everyone has high expectations, people want to see the Packers in the upcoming 2023 Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers knows that this year things will be difficult because the team no longer has a big star like Davante Adams, he left and now plays with Derek Carr in Las Vegas. But it’s not the end, the Packers still have a good wide receivers department.

The packers offensive line is strong, they have eight top notch wide receivers, not all of them are going to play as starters, but the team has good backups in case one of the starters gets injured during the season.
