On a young and potential-packed offense, there were a lot of options for a breakout player in Green Bay. Before a kidney injury, Luke Musgrave had a strong rookie season.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Last season, the Green Bay Packers’ receivers accounted for 229 receptions. All were made by first- or second-year players, and they’re all back for 2024. The tight ends accounted for 77 receptions. The returning group – all rookies last year – caught 69 of them.
In a draft class with rare talent and depth, Musgrave was the fourth off the board in 2023. Even while limited to just 42.7 percent playing time, Musgrave finished third with 34 receptions, fourth with 352 yards and sixth with 1.28 yards per route. The reception count tied Bubba Franks’ franchise rookie record.Musgrave was a second-round pick last season. Tucker Kraft was a third-round pick.
“We talk about it in our room all the time: The more you can do, the better we’re going to be as an offense, the better we’re going to be as a unit, the better we’re going to be as a group. I think it’s exciting. Now, there’s a lot of work to get to that stage. Just because you had success, there’s still a lot of work to be done, and that’s our goal every day. The more guys we can get on the field, that means the more guys are producing and we’re doing our job.
