I will always hold tremendous respect for Aaron Jones after how he handled himself throughout his Packer career. McCarthy disrespected him in public on multiple occasions and he kept his head down and went to work. McCarthy didnt know how to use him and he stayed largely on the bench for 2 years. Then, he resigned with the team on what I see as a friendly deal even after all that. Now, he splits carries and never complains. I love the guy. Not sure he is my top favorite, but wanted to shout him out.

Best player I've ever seen in my life and likely ever will. Genuinely enjoy his interviews, get more from them than Gute or LaFleur.
Few others that I got a soft spot in my heart for, Lazard, big Dean, Cobb, and Amos.

I mean I have an Aaron Rodgers jersey with the 31 star NFL logo because I had it when he was a backup. I grew up with Aaron and I was a sound defender of him 2006 - 2010 until I no longer need to be. So I have an intense attachment to my hero.
I would probably say my next favorites are Rashan Gary, AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones.

My favorites are the UDFA's and late picks that somehow make it. The Kabion Ento's and Jack Heflin's and Tyler Davis's and Yosh Nijman's. Yes, and Rasul too.

I agree and ditto.
McCarthy concerning running the ball was delusional, Lacy was a ball busting stud who got better with each carry, whats Mike do, his second season he cut his touches to 14.4 a game or something very close to that ( don't want to rile the stat ers here, correct me if I'am wrong) after that Lacy started eating the whole cow for lunch, maybe he would have anyway, but cutting those touches had to really urk a RB with his ability, that was the first time I remember Rodgers saying we need to run the ball more, and he did it both of McCarthys last two seasons when he screwed over Jones, I use to get so upset when the run was working very well, at a 5 yrd average and McCarthy would quit running the ball, both McCarthy and Ted where allowed to stay to long

De'Vondre Campbell!
Kylin Hill is going to be fun to watch when he gets healthy
Christian Watson will be a fan favorite by the end of the season

Definitely thought of listing Hill, but honestly don't know enough about him yet.
All I know is he popped like crazy when I went to practice last year in TC, dude has some burst and some shift.

Elgton Jenkins is such a BAMF. It doesn't matter if you put him at C, G, T, he will go out there and play it like a Pro-Bowler. Dude could probably play DT, TE, or EDGE and be a stud.
Jaire has really become a force at CB. He's got the athleticism and technical mastery to cover anyone, and now he's not just a lockdown cover guy but a real playmaker.
#GaryGang, 'nuff said.
*edit*
Also, Campbell. It's nice to have a quality ILB for once. And Kenny Clark, guy is a monster DT.
I personally cannot wait to see Jaire on the field for a full season again. Dude is just an artist at his craft. Going to be a fun 2022.
Jaire makes every around him a better player. His attitude, work ethic, talent, tenacity, and sheer will affects the entire defense.
The reason I like Rasul, besides his play making abilities, is because he is so unassuming and gives credit to his coaches during interviews. My hat’s off to him

I really like AJ Dillon. He has embraced being a Packer more than most players in recent years. His attitude is one I really respect.

Rashan Gary is becoming dominate at his position. He has been a model Packer! Faced all kinds of criticism, never responded but kept working! Dude is going to have a monster season!

Aaron Rodgers, Kenny Clark, Elgton Jenkins
I'm praying for AR to do a feat only he in the entire history of the NFL has a chance to do: Go through a season without throwing a single INT that's the QB's fault (= doesn't mean balls tipped at line, dropped, desperation hail marys etc.). No other QB has a prayer of that. AR does. He is just that good. And I like his quirky personality, an interesting cat.
Kenny C, the bestest "run stuffer only". Full grown man. Prototype of 2020s every down defensive lineman. Has had six good seasons, and is just 26 years old . Doesn't seem possible, but it is. Don't tell anyone: He could still improve. Doesn't speak much, doesn't have to. Got the most quiet huge contract extension ever. Could've settled into being a fine run stuffing DL with his athletic makeup alone, but has that quiet drive to be the best at everything about his craft. I'm hoping for a big play or few in the biggest stages, so Kenny can get his name into way too early HoF discussion...
Elg is the OL version of Kenny C. Having a OG casually swing to LT and excel there... It's not supposed to work like that!

Selfish favorite: Eric "gazelle" Stokes. Because for once seems like I was right about a draft pick after looking at their game film. Due credit to Stokes - he fixed most of the bad things on that tape (most importantly balance issues). If he ever learns to catch the football...

MM gave only gave lip service to running the ball. MLF says it and actually does it.
