3. Luke Musgrave

Another rookie making an immediate impact is Luke Musgrave. The second-round pick has played over 80 percent of the Packers' snaps through two weeks, and he is already exceeding expectations for a rookie tight end.

Importantly, Musgrave has shown he is more than capable as a blocker, and that will ensure he maintains a featured role in Matt LaFleur's offense. With his size, speed, and athleticism, Musgrave has the chance to become a difference-maker as a receiver.

The Packers haven't had a game-changing tight end for a decade. They may have finally found one.

Jordan Love has targeted Musgrave seven times in the opening two games, with the rookie catching five for 75 yards. The exciting part? The best is yet to come.

Musgrave is getting open. There have been times when the two haven't been on the same page, or Love hasn't seen Musgrave, but their connection will grow. Musgrave is still learning, and they will develop chemistry the more they play together.

But the early signs are there. Musgrave has star potential, and we're already seeing why. In time, the Love-to-Musgrave connection can become unstoppable, and that will help the entire offense level up. Watch this space.
