Some Green Bay Packers fans have voiced criticism of general manager Brian Gutekunst’s drafting choices in recent years, particularly after selecting offensive tackle Jordan Morgan from Arizona with the 24th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite defensive backs being available, the team opted not to address that position, leaving room for rookies to step in immediately.
CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso has highlighted Green Bay Packers rookie running back Marshawn Lloyd, ranking him fifth among the most anticipated rookies for the 2024 season. Trapasso commented on the Packers’ decision-making regarding running backs, especially with the departure of Aaron Jones to the Vikings in free agency. While Josh Jacobs is slated to lead the Packers’ backfield, Lloyd, known for his agility and impressive tackle evasion rate from his time with South Carolina and USC, is expected to earn a significant role as the season progresses.
Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich has expressed intentions to integrate Marshawn Lloyd extensively into the offense this season. Lloyd begins training camp as the third running back behind A.J. Dillon and Josh Jacobs, with expectations for his presence to grow as the season unfolds, balancing the workload and keeping Jacobs fresh throughout the campaign.
