Jamaal is back with the Packers for his fourth NFL season. QB Aaron Rodgers named Jamaal as a “breakout player” to watch for the Packers this season. Jamaal is behind Aaron Jones on the depth chart, but he has carved out a role as a pass-catching back and elite pass blocker.

The NFL’s Swiss Army knife is back for his fourth season with the Saints. Taysom is listed as the #2 QB on the Saints depth chart ahead of Jamies Winston and is expected to line up once again all over the field at different positions.
