Having been dumped out of the playoffs last season by the Chicago Bears in the Wild Card Round, there is big improvement expected from Matt LaFleur’s side.
However, their defence is going to be without Micah Parsons for a number of weeks as he continues to recover from his long-term injury setback.
With Josh Jacobs’ future also up in the air currently amid his off-field issues, running back Lloyd has told the rest of the league to get ready to learn exactly who he is.

There is a huge opportunity on offer for Lloyd in the running back spot with the Packers this season.
Lloyd has only ever been involved in one game for the Packers since he was drafted back in 2024. The 25-year-old recorded six carries for 15 yards during the 2024 season.
Naturally, he is not a household name, but he is looking to make such a big impact that everyone knows exactly who he is by the end of Week One.
“A lot of players don’t know me,” he said.
“They’ll watch my college tape, if anything. They won’t even know anything about me, won’t even worry about me. But they will eventually, at some point this year.
“So, I just gotta keep [keeping] my head down and working. That’s the biggest thing.”
With an unproven running back in Lloyd set to be the starter of Sunday against the Vikings, there remain a lot of uncertainties surrounding this Packers team.
Clearly, the Packers are stretched at running back, which is naturally going to put considerable pressure on Jordan Love and the wide receivers.
