Josh Jacobs' nightmarish offseason has raised concerns in the backfield and created an opportunity for MarShawn Lloyd to break out... the Packers are relatively thin in the backfield, with little to challenge Lloyd for the RB2 role. The lightning-fast Lloyd remains a tremendous athletic talent, but health has long been a concern.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

Lloyd positioned for RB2 breakout with Jacobs sidelined; athletic talent shines when healthy.

Lloyd has a significant opportunity to break out as the RB2 with Josh Jacobs facing legal and injury concerns. The Packers are relatively thin in the backfield with little to challenge Lloyd for the role. Lloyd remains a tremendous athletic talent, though health has been a long-standing concern; he's been active for only one game through two NFL seasons. GM Brian Gutekunst noted that every time Lloyd has gotten an opportunity when healthy, he's been impactful and continues to do that. Lombardi Ave's Freddie Boston is thrilled with Lloyd's potential.
