The Green Bay Packers put a focus on creating competition this offseason, putting pressure on these three returning players to earn or retain their jobs.
The focus for the Green Bay Packers this offseason has been creating as much competition as possible. It was a guiding principle behind almost every move made by the team.
The first being veteran Greg Joseph, the Minnesota Vikings' kicker from 2021 through 2023. Joseph was signed by Green Bay in March, providing an early preview to the competition in the offseason program. Dillon's primary competitor for a roster spot will likely be Emanuel Wilson, a second-year back who was signed as an undrafted free agent last offseason. Though the two have different playing styles, Wilson is the only other back on the roster with any experience in coach Matt LaFleur's system and had an impressive preseason last year.
The first four at the position — Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed — are all pretty solidified in their roles. Depending on how the rest of the initial 53-man roster adds up, the bottom of the group could get interesting.
