Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur

The Green Bay Packers enter the offseason with plenty to be hopeful about. The Packers made their second consecutive postseason appearance in the post-Aaron Rodgers era, and they did so with the league’s youngest roster. However, the Packers might need to find another young cornerback in the 2025 draft. Since the 2021 season, Jaire Alexander has played in just 34 games. He only had one season (2022) in which he was fully healthy. The 27-year-old appeared and started in seven games in 2024, missing substantial time for a knee injury. Alexander is one of the league’s best corners when healthy,…

Despite the Packers wanting to claim it’s not really a rivalry since only Green Bay wins anymore, their players sure do love to jaw at the Bears. This week, Packers cornerback Xavier McKinney took a shot at Bears wide receiver DJ…
