2. Eddie Lacy 

The Packers have something that they have not had since Ahman Green, a Pro Bowl running back. Last year was an amazing first impression of Eddie Lacy. He turned heads as he rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie.

Additionally, Lacy made Second Team All Pro, and won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

The Packers offense will be even more deadly having Eddie Lacy lining up in the backfield. Defenses will be kept on their toes because they wont know who to stop since Lacy himself also scores frequently. Last year he had 11 touchdowns and those numbers will only increase with more goal line carries.
