Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is entering the 2026 season as the team is in their Super Bowl window.

Love established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league in 2025, as he completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

Heading into the 2026 season, Green Bay has some talented weapons for Love to connect with downfield. He also has continuity with those weapons, as it's all returning players with Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, and Josh Jacobs.

"It's not our first rodeo together," Love said in an appearance on NFL Network.

In the 2025 season, they had more depth in the receiver room, with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks playing contributing roles. However, the Packers let Doubs leave to the New England Patriots in free agency and traded Wicks to the Eagles, opening up more opportunities for their other weapons.

Golden will become the X receiver, the role that Doubs previously held, as he looks to build upon his rookie season. In his limited time on the field, Golden finished with 29 receptions for 361 yards while rushing for 49 yards on 10 attempts.

His breakout performance came in the Wild Card Game against the Chicago Bears, finishing with four receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Kraft is coming off a career year, with 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games, before going down with a torn ACL. As he returns to the field, Kraft will be a pivotal piece for the Packers' offense, as he is one of the best tight ends in the league.

Watson also had a great season in 2025, finishing with 35 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns. He heads into the 2026 season at full health, which gives him a chance to post career numbers.

With the uncertainty in the running room with MarShawn Lloyd as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, Green Bay will need to lean on their passing attack. Lloyd showcased his talent during his collegiate career but has played only one game in his first two seasons due to injuries.

While the Packers' weapons aren't talked about as an elite core, they have the talent for Love to have a great season and be in the MVP race.
