Top 5 reasons the Green Bay Packers will reach Super Bowl 51
By Josh McPeak
#2. Wide Receivers
If this group of wide receivers stays healthy next season it may very well shatter records.
Jordy Nelson should be back and what Mike McCarthy declared as “better than ever.”
That should send a shiver up the rest of the NFC North.

Couple a healthy Nelson with the return of Ty Montgomery and Davante Adams and you have a very formidable group in itself. Randall Cobb will benefit more than anyone with the return of Nelson. He should be back to his normal stats next season.
Jared Abbrederis proved he can play in this league and transformed into one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets down the stretch.
Jeff Janis had his coming out party in a huge way during the divisional round of the playoffs. If that game is any indication of the future, teams will have a very hard time containing Janis and Nelson on the same field.
It certainly appears as though this could be the best group Rodgers has enjoyed while in Green Bay.
