The Green Bay Packers are loaded with talent on the offensive side of the football. Led by Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur, the 2025 NFL season should be entertaining.
Around Love, the Packers have built out a great roster offensively. They have Josh Jacobs as their star running back and a wide receiver room that includes Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, and Savion Williams.
Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave have the talent and potential to be an elite tight end duo as well.

On the outside looking in, Green Bay should have a chance to be one of the top offenses in the league. If the players play up to their full potential, the Packers are going to be very difficult for opposing defenses to stop.

At running back behind Jacobs, the team also has a very talented player set to make a return to the field in 2025.
MarShawn Lloyd was drafted by Green Bay with the No. 88 overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He was expected to come in and play a key role as a rookie and looked great during training camp and preseason action.
Unfortunately, injuries and health issues completely derailed his rookie season. He played in just one game, carrying the football six times for 15 yards and catching one pass for three yards.
Despite his lost rookie year, Lloyd is back and ready to make an impact. He spoke out about his current health status recently.
“I’m doing good, really good,” Lloyd said. “Can run as fast as I can, can jump as high as I want, can catch the ball.”

What kind of player is Lloyd capable of being? In college, he was a highly productive running back who was more than capable of making big-time plays.
During the 2023 season with the USC Trojans, Lloyd racked up 820 yards and nine touchdowns on 116 carries, averaging 7.1 yards per carry. Also, he caught 13 passes for 232 yards.
This is great news for the Packers’ offense. If he can stay healthy and play to his ability, he should be the primary backup running back behind Jacobs and bring some playmaking to the backfield for Green Bay.
