The Green Bay Packers finished third in the NFC North this season after posting a dreadful 1-5 mark in the division, their worst since 2005.
The Packers were swept by Detroit and Minnesota and split with the Chicago Bears.
Bob McGinn, the Pro Football Hall of Fame reporter who covered the Packers for four decades and now works for golongtd.com, talked with several NFL executives and assembled an All-NFC North team.
Not surprisingly, the Packers had just one first-team selection on offense — left guard Elgton Jenkins.
Running back Josh Jacobs, left tackle Rasheed Walker, right guard Sean Ryhan, right tackle Zach Tom and tight end Tucker Kraft all finished second at their respective positions. Quarterback Jordan Love and center Josh Myers were third.
Green Bay’s wide receivers finished way down the list, with Romeo Doubs leading the group with a seventh place finish.
Here’s a look at the breakdown for Green Bay’s offensive players. McGinn will reveal the all-NFC North teams on defense and special teams next week.
Green Bay’s Jordan Love finished third, behind Detroit’s Jared Goff and Minnesota’s Sam Darnold.
“Up and down,” one scout said of Love. “When he’s on, he’s really good. You’ve got to factor in, he was hurt (knee injury, 80.1% play time). He’s still a young player. When he’s right, I don’t see anything lacking.”
Added a second scout: “I feel he has too much Aaron Rodgers in him with the foot issues and not setting himself. He’s tough. It’s just that he doesn’t play to a consistent level over 17 games. He has good stretches. I need a good 17-game stretch from him.”
