Packers QB Jordan Love: Few gunslingers were as dazzling down the stretch in 2023, and now Love has another full offseason of prep under his belt, armed with a young and versatile wide receiver corps. His big arm could be a big-play machine.Jets RB Breece Hall: Still just 23, Hall was eased back into the lineup while returning from injury in 2023, but he’s been mighty efficient and explosive when afforded a full workload. Aaron Rodgers’ return should also help his production.Vikings WR Jordan Addison: He was splashy as a rookie, even while dealing with an injury-prompted quarterback carousel, and now he should have a healthier Justin Jefferson back by his side. With T.J. Hockenson also rehabbing, his targets could soar.
