When the Packers released their 53-man roster Saturday, there were a few surprises and here are some of the key takeaways from the final roster moves of GM Brian Gutekunst.
The way the Packers have used the fullback position in the last two years indicates there's at least a small possibility the team eliminates the position entirely in 2018.

From former first-round picks looking to fulfill their potential to established veterans who can elevate their game, Aaron and Bill break down which players have the most to prove and why their performances could have a major impact on the Packers' success this season.
