After a slow start to the 2023 NFL regular season, the Green Bay Packers were able to turn things around, with quarterback Jordan Love becoming a legitimate star under center and the undisputed leader of the storied NFL franchise.

With Love coming into his own and making it much easier for the team’s fanbase to move on from superstar Aaron Rodgers, the Packers were able to secure a spot in the NFL playoffs, even though no one expected much from Green Bay against the competition in the NFC.

Although the Packers came into the playoffs as massive underdogs, and understandably so, as they had to face the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys right out of the gate on the road, Green Bay pulled off the biggest upset of the postseason.

Dallas didn’t stand a chance against Green Bay as they rolled over America’s Team and advanced to the second round to take on the eventual NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.

Despite the season coming to an end due to a loss to the 49ers, the Packers showed that this team could be ready to contend sooner rather than later, which has prompted some moves this offseason, including providing some more protection for Love with the addition of offensive tackle Andre Dillard, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The former first-round pick spent his first four years in the league with the Philadelphia Eagles after a successful college career at Washington State.

Dillard played for the Tennessee Titans last season and will now have an opportunity to start fresh with the Packers.
