Here are five things you need to know about the Green Bay Packers' initial 53-man roster, including a return to being very, very young.

“The goal here is to win a championship,” Gutekunst said a couple weeks ago. “We’re not here to just win some games. We’re here to win a championship. Sometimes you have to create room to get better, and you can’t get better without playing. So that’s part of it. It’s not easy. Growing pains are never easy. But if we’re going to win a championship, we have to get better. We weren’t good enough last year. We have to get better and sometimes you have to create opportunities for that to happen."

This article seems to completely dismiss or ignore the importance of availability which some have suggested is one of the biggest key stats.

Safety
In the only real head-scratcher, the Packers opted to keep Jonathan Owens over Tarvarius Moore at safety.


So they kept only 4 CBs, 11 OL, OL Royce Newman, and you're telling me none of those are head-scratchers?

I get it, S Moore might be your most athletic Safety (maybe outside of Savage), but the guy got two chances to start and was quickly injured after each chance.

Also, why the hell did they throw Owens under the bus like that? Leavitt is the only S that never even got the opportunity to battle for the starting spot, wouldn't you be questioning his spot more over Owens whom was in top spot most of the time .. though lost it, but he was still always in it.


Undrafted rookie Malik Heath earned his spot on the roster. He got open. He caught the ball. He blocked. The Packers have kept at least one rookie free agent for 19 consecutive years. In talking to a longtime member of the personnel department recently, none – none! – were as consistently impressive as Heath. Not even Sam Shields, who wound up playing about half the defensive snaps for a Super Bowl-winning defense, was so good during his rookie training camp.


Interesting, very very interesting

The interesting decision was taking Samori Toure, a seventh-round pick in 2022, over Grant DuBose, a seventh-round pick in 2023, for the sixth and final spot at receiver. DuBose had the better training camp, with the asterisk that his playing time came mostly with the 2s while Toure played mostly with the 1s.


Also overlooking the asterisk that DuBose was injured and not practicing half of training camp. The lack of availability clearly hurt his chances, his own shot was his potential being so good that they couldn't risk losing him.

That being said, his potential looks HUGE, and I'm surprised Gute didn't keep him over #10 OL. DuBose is behind in development, and with guys like that, you never know if they'll catch up, but if DuBose is able to, he has the physical potential to be a good starting WR in the NFL. That being said, just because you got the physical potential to do something, doesn't mean you actually get there and do it, just that you have the potential to. He needs a lot of development before that point.
