Projecting Packers Rookie Roles: 7 First-Year Players Who Could Play a Part in 2025

Every draft class has its own personality, and some groups are more likely to see the field as rookies than others. Previous Packers draft classes have had varying impacts as rookies, but this year’s crop of new players has a chance to see the field in year one.

CHTV contributor Mark Oldacres highlights seven Green Bay rookies who could carve out a role early in their NFL careers.

Starting Positions Aren't Given Easily

Every offseason, all across the NFL, teams quickly hand their first-round draft pick a starting job. It can be announced before Training Camp even begins, or in some cases, it might already be given the second the draft selection is made. Some say that it shows a commitment to the investment. It shows that they are so confident that the player they chose will make an impact that they're immediately slotting them in the starting position.

This is rarely the case with the Green Bay Packers. No matter who the Packers drafted in the first round of the latest draft, that pick is always slotted towards the middle or bottom half of the depth chart to start Training Camp. Of course, that leads those who want to criticize the pick to label them a bust before they even touch the field, but we won't dive further into that nonsense. The reason for this rarely has to do with the player's skillset or how the team views their progress, it tends to align with an undocumented franchise tradition. For at least the last two decades, under head coaches Mike McCarthy and Matt LaFleur, the Packers have had a tradition of making players earn their starting job regardless of their draft pedigree.

Using that philosophy, the team can see what a player is made of right out of the gate. How do they handle not being the star like they may have been in college? How do they respond on the field? Do they go out and earn that position? Or do they take offense at being lower on the depth chart and get vocal, or let it affect their performance? It gets the best or worst out of those rookies right out of the gate.

Of course, by continuing with this strategy, the Packers also avoid stepping on the toes of their veterans. Veteran players who earned their spot on the roster already are assured that they will not be leapfrogged. They will have a chance to prove they still deserve to be there. Or at least, that is the intention. Recently, it seems as though Jayden Reed's camp requires a little more reassurance.

Should the Packers be In or Out on these free agents?

Will Either of These Two Packers First Round Picks Win a Starting Job in 2025?

There are two recent first round picks by the Green Bay Packers who have yet to establish themselves as starters for the team. Is this the year that Lukas Van Ness and Jordan Morgan break through and start for the Pack? 

Van Ness was the team’s selection in 2022. The Packers loved his elite athletic traits but knew he was a raw talent. The former Iowa star never started a game during his college career although that was largely due to the Hawkeyes favoring seniors to start while Van Ness left school after his junior season. In two seasons with the Packers, Van Ness has produced a total of seven sacks with four coming in his rookie campaign. Van Ness has established himself as part of the Packers edge rush rotation, but he has yet to start a game for the team. In 2023, he played 33 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. That number rose to 39 percent in 2024.

Morgan finds himself in a different situation. He missed most of his rookie season due to injuries, playing in only six games and starting just one. While the former Arizona star played left tackle in college, his arm length led many scouts to believe he would be best suited to playing guard in the NFL. The Packers had him taking reps at both tackle and guard at OTAs and minicamp but moved him to right guard once training camp got under way. The thinking was that was where Morgan was most likely to contribute right away. He ended up losing the battle at right guard to Sean Rhyan, although Morgan rotated in several series per game much like Rhyan did when he was behind Jon Runyan, Jr. the previous season. Morgan’s only start came when center Josh Myers missed a game due to injury and left guard Elgton Jenkins had to move to center.

The Packers will be looking for improvement from both these former first-round picks. It’s time for them to stop being players with potential and to start being productive players who contribute regularly to the lineup.

Special Teams Got a Talent Boost in the Draft

The Green Bay Packers’ special teams units have been a major source of frustration for fans over the past several years. The high-profile hire of coordinator Rich Bisaccia has so far yielded mixed to disappointing results. However, a recent shift toward loading the special teams with higher-level talent — rather than filling them with end-of-the-roster, undrafted rookies — could finally begin to deliver a more respectable performance.

In this year’s draft, the Packers added several players who could log significant snaps across various units and finally give Bisaccia a top-15-level special teams group. Four picks in particular from this year’s class — Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, Collin Oliver, and Micah Robinson — should see immediate playing time on special teams as rookies.

They bring a combination of youth, speed, and college-level special teams experience that could elevate the group’s performance significantly. As Rich Bisaccia enters his fourth year as special teams coordinator, he now has the potential to mold this rookie class into core contributors for years to come.
