The 2020 Green Bay Packers are just what one would expect a team set to host a conference championship game to be. One with multiple elite-level strengths and few weaknesses. One with Pro Bowl and All-Pro players dotting the depth chart on both sides of the ball (in this case seven Pro Bowlers and four first-team

Six Packers named All-Pro
Six Green Bay Packers players were named to the Associated Press All-Pro team on Friday, including QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Davante Adams, T David Bakhtiari and C Corey Linsley named to the first team.
Linebacker Za’Darius Smith and cornerback Jaire Alexander were also named second team All-Pro.
The four first-team selections are the most the Packers have had since 1967, which is the last year the Packers had two offensive linemen make the first team (Forrest Gregg and Kerry Kramer).
It’s the fourth All-Pro selection for Rodger, who was previously voted first-team All-Pro in 2011, 2012 and 2014. He started all 16 games and completed 372 of 526 passes (70.7%) for 4,299 yards and 48 touchdowns with only five interceptions. His 121.5 passer rating is the second-best single-season mark in NFL history behind only his own 122.5 rating in 2011.
