. . Green Bay Packers . 8. player. 49. As long as they have Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers will be a threat in the NFC. He’s still in his prime and despite some struggles last season continued to make enough big plays to help them win. With Jordy Nelson returning from his knee injury and Eddie Lacy in much better shape, odds are it will be another great year for the Packers offense. This assuming their offensive line can step up. <p>It’s a matter of how much they can get from their defense. Clay Matthews remains a stud. Julius Peppers though is 36. Does he have another great year in him? The secondary has plenty of young talents and their defensive front got a boost with the addition of 1st round pick Kenny Clark. It’s a matter of whether this team can keep surviving these epic playoff defeats and a strengthening division to stay on top. Rodgers is the X-factor, but even he has his limits.</p>
