Packers have one of NFL’s top QB-RB-WR trios in 2021

When the Green Bay Packers‘ offense is on the field, the opposing defense has all sorts of problems to worry about.

The first is figuring out how to stop three-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers taking over the game. He’s done so on many occasions.

It doesn’t help that his number one wide receiver is All-Pro Davante Adams. That’s another concern for opposing defenses.

But it’s not as simple as putting more defensive backs on the field and trying to stop the pass, as Pro Bowl running back Aaron Jones is in the backfield.

This QB-RB-WR trio makes the Packers’ offense so tough to stop, and these three players were key to the success of this offense in 2020.

Ahead of the 2021 season, NFL Spin Zone’s Randy Gurzi has ranked the top QB-RB-WR trios in the league, and he has the Packers’ trio of Rodgers, Jones, and Adams third. Ahead of them are the Tennessee Titans with Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, and Julio Jones, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Tyreek Hill.

There’s no doubt that the top three trios in the rankings are all excellent choices. My personal pick for first place would be the Packers’ trio.

Rodgers is the reigning league MVP and is coming off a 48-touchdown season. Jones was a Pro Bowler. Adams was a first-team All-Pro and also made the Pro Bowl for the fourth year in a row.

In 2020, Rodgers threw for 4,299 yards with 48 touchdowns and five interceptions. Jones rushed for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns. Adams put up 1,374 receiving yards and a league-best 18 touchdowns.

All three are among the best at their respective positions. You could argue Edwards-Helaire isn’t yet one of the best running backs in the NFL, while Tannehill isn’t one of the best quarterbacks.

Still, Gurzi makes a number of fair points and has put together a great list.

Where would you rank the Packers’ trio of Rodgers, Jones, and Adams?
