![]() This season will serve as an important way to gather more information before deciding what the future holds at the position.Īt the moment, only two Packers running backs are under contract for 2024. Beyond 2023, Green Bay’s backfield situation isn’t as clear. Without a spot to contribute, it would seem that the Packers would be better off with someone else at Jean Charles roster spot.The Green Bay Packers have arguably the best running back duo of the NFL in Aaron Jones and A.J. That might leave Jean Charles in a very difficult situation. Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaacia has his favorites on his unit, players like Dalin Leavitt, Tariq Carpenter, Rudy Ford, and Isaiah McDuffie are his core players. With Nixon in front of him, and cornerback Eric Stokes expected to return from injury, Jean Charles will be left to just contribute on special teams.īut even there he isn’t a lock to contribute this season. However, it appears that Keisean Nixon will be the Packers starting cornerback when the 2023 season kicks off. It was expected that he would compete for the Packers nickel spot and also contribute on special teams. ![]() Jean Charles was selected in the fifth round out of Appalachian State. Similar to Newman, Shemar Jean Charles is another member of Gutekunst’s 2021 NFL Draft class. It is curious why he is still even on the roster. He struggles to catch the ball and doesn’t do much as a blocker either. He has failed to show any promise during his time on the Green Bay Packers roster. But even if they do carry four, Davis shouldn’t be the fourth tight end. If the Packers carry just three tight ends, it appears that Tyler Davis will be the odd man out. If Matt LaFleur is going to lean on the run game, which is expected with Jordan Love in his first year as a starter, Deguara could see a lot of playing time. ![]() Unlike Musgrave and Kraft, Deguara has the capability of lining up in the backfield as a fullback. Deguara wasn’t utilized like he should have when Rodgers was leading the offense but with Rodgers gone, he should see increased playing time. Musgrave and Kraft will be joining Josiah Deguara in the Packers tight ends room. Kraft is well-rounded and should be a major piece in the Packers offense this season and in seasons to come. Musgrave is already turning heads with his pass-catching potential. Gutekunst added Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft in the second and third rounds of this year’s NFL Draft. There isn’t a position that saw more upgrading this off-season than the tight end position. It will be a numbers game and it will be an uphill fight for Newman to make the Green Bay Packers roster. At guard, Newman will be competing against Sean Rhyan and Rasheed Walker. Expected to back up Bakhtiari and Nijman are Zach Tom and Caleb Jones. Even as a backup, Newman will face a lot of competition. If the season were to start today, the most likely starting offensive line would be David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr., and Yosh Nijman. ![]() Newman ended up starting just six games in 2022.Įntering 2022, there is a good chance that Newman might be the odd man out. While Newman was a tackle in college, it was pretty evident that he can’t play there in the NFL. In 2022, Newman started off as the Packers starting right tackle.
