Every NFL team’s breakout star for this season

Breakout NFL candidates for 2023: Green Bay Packers – Josh Myers

It’s hard to call out an offensive lineman who is going to breakout, but this Green Bay Packers offense has so many question marks, it is like spinning a roulette wheel and landing on a skill player. So, let’s go with somewhat of a guarantee. Josh Myers is in a training camp “battle” with Zach Tom, but that’s not real. He might work his way into a guard position, but Myers is solidified as the person snapping the ball to Jordan Love.

Myers was really good in 2022, the last season with Aaron Rodgers taking snaps. Now, with Love under center, that center position will see a new spotlight. We’ll see stories about the relationship Love and Myers are building. The offensive lineman will legitimately help Love identify blitzes and understand when an audible is necessary. It’s not all quarterbacks doing the dirty work. They get a lot of help from the centers.

This of course only works if the Packers are good. If the Packers are bad, the conversation is about whether letting Aaron Rodgers go was the right choice, if Love is actually ready, or whether Matt LeFleur is on the hot seat. Reporters are definitely not asking about the center.

With a wide-open NFC North, the Packers should stay in the playoff push for the long haul. Who knows who will be the wide receiver who breaks out, or if Aaron Jones sits back while AJ Dillon takes the starting job at running back. However, we know the Packers have a really good center, and Myers should get more publicity this season with a new quarterback to snap to.
