The offense will have a lot of potential this season. The defense has potential too, but it will take time to gel because they switched from a 3-4 defensive scheme to a 4-3 defensive scheme.

The Green Bay Packers will be a Super Bowl Contender this season because of quarterback Jordan Love. He has been on the same page with his teammates over the last couple of years.

The Packers have a loaded wide receiver room. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs will be the starting wide receivers this season. Dontayvion Wicks is the next wide receiver in line in case anyone gets injured. After that, Bo Melton and Malik Heath are projected to make the roster.

On Tuesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to Green Bay Packers The Athletic Beat Writer Matt Schneidman. LaFleur said to the media about wide receiver Bo Melton:

“He’s got that dog mentality, whether it’s run game, pass game, whatever it may be. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get out there on the field and I think he’s embraced that. He’s embraced his role and he’s excelled in it.”

Bo Melton is doing everything in his power to make the Green Bay Packers 53-man roster this season. He was added to the roster late last season when the Packers had injuries at the wide receiver position. Melton was the first wide receiver on the Packers roster last season to have over 100 yards receiving in a single game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jayden Reed had over 100 yards receiving the following week against the Chicago Bears. If Bo Melton is doing this during practice, this just goes to show how deep the Green Bay Packers wide receiver group is.

This also happened during Green Bay Packers practice on Tuesday:

 

The fact that Jordan Love is dropping dimes to second-string wide receivers is already a good sign. Hopefully, the Green Bay Packers don’t get hurt again at wide receiver but if it does happen, Bo Melton is someone that will want an opportunity to shine.
