If all goes well, the Packers’ offense should put up some big numbers this year. That will, of course, mean good things for the team as a whole, but it also will mean significant leaps up the all-time statistical leaderboards for a few notable names on the Packers.

Here’s how the Packers could rewrite the record books in 2026.

Passing stats

Jordan Love stands to make the most meaningful mark on the Packers’ record books this year. He’s currently tied with Tobin Rote for fifth all time in passing yards with 11,535. It will take him multiple seasons to catch Lynn Dickey for fourth all time, but he’ll overtake Rote with his first completion of 2026. Let’s go ahead and knock that out on the first play of the first game.

With 83 passing touchdowns to his name, Love needs just seven touchdowns to pass Rote (89) for fifth all time in passing touchdowns. If he threw 51, he’d leap past Dickey for the fourth spot. That’s not impossible, but it’d take some doing — he’d only have to throw more touchdowns than any Packers player has ever thrown in a season to make it happen. A guy can dream!

Rushing stats

Josh Jacobs ranks 18th in Packers history with 2,258 rushing yards. The first name on his overtake list is A.J. Dillon; Jacobs needs just 171 yards to pass the former Packers’ second round pick.

How high can Jacobs climb? 1,000 yards would get him past Donny Anderson for 14th all-time, and that’s probably about the upper limit. He’d need more than 1,500 yards to jump Paul Hornung (3,711) and get into the top 10, and Aaron Rodgers currently sits at 11th with 3,466. Both are probably safe this year.

However, he can make some serious noise on the all-time rushing touchdowns list. His 28 touchdowns already have him tied with Dorsey Levens and Elijah Pitts for 11th, and two scores puts him past John Brockington and Tobin Rote (29 apiece) for sole possession of ninth place. And Jacobs only climbs from there. Eight touchdowns gets him past Ted Fritsch (31), Aaron Rodgers (35), and Clark Hinkle (35) for sixth all-time, and if he can get to 10 rushing touchdowns this year, he’ll pass the great Verne Lewellen for fifth all-time. More on Jacobs and his scoring abilities later. 

Receiving stats

Christian Watson enters 2026 as the Packers’ active leader in receiving yards, ranking 30th all time. If he notches his first 1,000 yard season, he’d pass a whole host of notable names in Packers history, including Bubba Franks, Ed West, William Henderson, Romeo Doubs, Javon Walker, Ahman Green, Jermichael Finley, and Bill Schroeder, who’s currently in possession of 18th place all time with 3,435 receiving yards.

I want to call out Watson’s relationship to Doubs (at least statistically) here. Watson needs 70 catches to pass Doubs’ career total of 202 in Green Bay, but just 161 yards to surpass Doubs’ 2.424. It just goes to show the difference in what the two players offer.

As a bonus, Watson’s 20 receiving touchdowns currently have him tied with Bill Schroeder and Jermichael Finley for 20th in Packers history. Three touchdowns this season not only breaks that tie, but puts him past Romeo Doubs (21), Gary Knafelc (21), and Javon Walker (22) for 20th in Packers history. Nine touchdowns has him leaping Johnny Blood (28) for 18th on the big board.

Elsewhere in the world of pass catching, Tucker Kraft’s 15 touchdowns has him tied with Jayden Reed and Ron Kramer for 33rd all time. Just three more scores has him leaping notable tight ends Kramer (15), Robert Tonyan (17), Donald Lee (17), and Mark Chmura (17). Six could get him past Jermichael Finley’s career total of 20.

Speaking of Finley, it’s possible that Kraft could pass Finley on both the career yardage and touchdowns leaderboards this year. He’d need a bit more than 1,200 yards to do it, but he was on pace for 1,139 last year and I’d never put it past Kraft to smash through anything. He probably won’t catch Finley’s reception total of 223 this season (he’d need 111 to do it), but again…why bet against Tucker Kraft? Sooner or later, he’s going to be the Packer’s most statistically productive tight end of all time. Why not sooner?

To cap off the receiving section, Matthew Golden ranks 144th in Packers’ history with just 361 receiving yards. If he manages just 500 this year, he’ll climb all the way to 82nd. Progress!

Scoring stats

Scoring is much less of an important metric now than it was in earlier NFL history, but the Packers have had some notable scorers during their more than century of history, so it bears mentioning.

Trey Smack is off to a shaky start so far, but he’ll make something resembling history if he makes it into the regular season. If he converts just one kick, he’ll become just the 43rd in recorded Packers history to do so, or at least history as recorded by Pro Football Reference. Two made field goals makes him a top-35 kicker in Packers history. See? The bar is low! (Please improve, Trey.)

Up toward the top of the leaderboard, Josh Jacobs’ 180 career points are pretty solid for two seasons, but put him in a tie for 42nd in Packers history. However, he doesn’t need to do that much to pass some notable names. He realistically won’t get anywhere near the top 10 (Jordy Nelson is 10th with 416 points, so good luck), but he’s within striking distance of Tony Canadeo (186), Aaron Rodgers (216), and Johnny Blood (224). And if you’re scoring more than Johnny Blood? Well, that’s saying something.
