1. What if?: Back in March, 2013, the Packers pursued free-agent running back Steven Jackson, who at the time was 29 and had spent nine seasons in St. Louis. Jackson eventually chose Atlanta, and six weeks later, the Packers used a second-round draft pick to select Eddie Lacy. Things couldn't have worked out any better for Green Bay. Jackson missed four games a year ago, had a career-low 543 yards and averaged 3.5 yards per rush. This year he is averaging 3.8 yards per rush and on pace for just 803 yards. Lacy, on the other hand, was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and is on pace for a second straight 1,000-yard season. Had Jackson signed with Green Bay, Lacy would have never been a Packer.
