The Green Bay Packers have found themselves several young stars.
They have one at quarterback with Jordan Love and potentially two at wide receiver in Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.
They also have another one in their secondary with Jaire Alexander.
Notably, they also have another bright star who’s just walking his first steps as a head coach: Matt LaFleur.
LaFleur has been excellent for the Packers, and he almost led the team to the Super Bowl last season.
That’s why NFL analyst Danny Heifetz recently tipped his hat to him and went as far as to call him the best coach in the NFL.
“I think Matt LaFleur is the best coach in the NFL…He has way better results than Kyle Shanahan ever had with way worse personnel.” – @Danny_Heifetz

He also added that they should’ve beaten the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs last season.
Truth be told, LaFleur has most definitely earned a spot near the top of the league.
There were plenty of doubts regarding the post-Aaron Rodgers era, and LaFleur’s offensive approach put those doubts to sleep.
Last season, we got to see what his offense looked like, as Rodgers was no longer there to change his calls at the line of scrimmage.
He might not be on Andy Reid’s or Mike Tomlin’s level right now, but he’s most definitely trending up.
The Packers are going to be very good for a very long time, and LaFleur deserves plenty of credit for that,
