The Green Bay Packers feature one of the best young rosters in the NFL. Two players made PFF’s All-Breakout Team. Neither of them were receivers.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers, who qualified for the playoffs last season with the youngest roster in the NFL, look like they’re ready to break out for another sustained run as Super Bowl contenders. Two of their many ascending players who will lead that charge were selected to“You could make the case here for either second-year Packers tight end,” wrote PFF’s Gordon McGuinness of Musgrave, a second-round pick last year, and Tucker Kraft, a third-round selection last year.
Musgrave was the fourth tight end selected in a powerful class. He finished third in receptions, fourth with 352 yards and sixth with 1.28 yards per route.“I want to be the best I can be,” he said at the end of minicamp on Wednesday. “I think I shine through in the pass game a little bit more than I do in the run game, but I just want to be the best I can be and help the offense.”
Last year, the Packers used a fourth-round pick on Colby Wooden and a sixth-round pick on Brooks. It was Brooks who quickly established himself as an impact player. A havoc-creating edge defender at Bowling Green, Brooks tied first-round pick Lukas Van Ness for fourth on the team with four sacks. He also broke up four passes – as many as safeties Jonathan Owens and Darnell Savage combined.
“The great thing about those guys that we’re talking about in the room, that’s their mentality. That’s who they are every day. They’re going to show up here every day and ‘Rebs, what are we doing today? How are we working? How are we getting better?’ And that’s, to me, why you’re going to see the better jump from Year 1 to Year 2.”
