The Green Bay Packers have one of the youngest rosters in football.
However, it appears as though they could have one of the league’s best rosters after the way last season went.
They made the playoffs with the youngest roster in football in the first season of Jordan Love.
The operation in Green Bay is ahead of schedule.
One position group that is extremely deep on Lombardi Avenue is the wide receiver position.
Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Shannon Sharpe really likes that group for the Packers.
“I think Christian Watson, if he can stay healthy, man, that dude’s special. They got four guys that are one-ish,” Sharpe recently stated on “Nightcap.”

What Sharpe is saying is that he believes Green Bay has four receivers that can perform as No. 1 receivers.
Christian Watson, who is yet to play a full season due to injury, can absolutely fly when healthy.
Romeo Doubs is one of the more underrated receivers in the league after starting 16 of 17 games last season and increasing each of his statistical outputs from a season ago.
Rookie receiver Jayden Reed led the team in receiving in 2023 (793 yards, 8 touchdowns) after being drafted out of Michigan State in the second round last offseason.
Former fifth-round pick Dontayvion Wicks proved to be a very reliable receiver down the stretch too (29 first downs converted in 2023).
Going into 2024, Jordan Love will have another offseason under his belt to get even closer with his receivers.
That should absolutely terrify the rest of the league seeing as Love threw the second-most touchdowns in the game last year (32).
