The Green Bay Packers have plenty of questions regarding their offense in 2023. Of course, this is because the team has transitioned to Jordan Love as their starting quarterback after 15 years of Hall of Fame play from Aaron Rodgers. Additionally, the team has a wide receiver room full of first and second-year players. Furthermore, the Packers drafted two new tight ends after moving on from Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.
So how good will this inexperience offense be? Well, two former NFL players, Keyshawn Johnson and Louis Riddick, think they will be quite explosive.
Keyshawn Johnson and Louis Riddick Say the Green Bay Packers Offense Will Be Explosive with Jordan Love

In a recent appearance on NFL Live, Johnson and Riddick had the following to say about Jordan Love and the Packers offense in 2023. Johnson began by talking about Love:
“Well, don’t screw it up right?
They won like eight games last year. Get them to at least that mark or a little bit better, show that you are a professional football player at the quarterback position in the National Football League, show us that you’ve evolved since sitting on the bench, show us that hey, what the Green Bay Packers saw in practice and what little bit of gameplay you have that you’ve learned from it. That you’ve gotten better from your first year in the National Football League from Utah State.
I think he’ll be successful. I understand that he can’t be Aaron Rodgers off the bat…at the end of the day you’ve got to give him an opportunity to be successful. Don’t turn the football over, lean heavily into the running game and your defense, and get your team into the end zone and I think you’ll be fine.”
Riddick responded:
“I’ll tell you this if they can lean on that offensive line which should be one of the best in football, that running back tandem that’s one of the best in football, and they can get Jordan to believe, to not turn the football over, and to gradually build, I think over the next season and over the next couple of years this could be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. And I think it has unlimited upside, but they have to take it slow and be willing to live with the bumps in the road.”
With so many young players on the roster, there are certainly going to be bumps in the road, learning moments that a team with more veterans might not have. However, the upside of that is the team’s potential is sky high. While Green Bay is in a reloading year, that does not mean they will not be exciting.
