It's way too early to make sweeping judgments about anything or anybody on this 2020 version of the Packers, but that never stops me from over reacting or offering knee jerk opinions.   So in that spirit I present to you the Bye Week Awards.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Aaron Rodgers

When you are paid an annual average of around $33 million per year, you are being paid to be the most valuable player, and Rodgers has lived up to the title. Not only is his play on the field as good or better than anyone in the league, but his leadership and attitude have been exactly what he needs to exemplify. Those who thought he would come in peevish and petulant couldn't have been more wrong. Is he motivated by the drafting of Jordan Love? Undoubtedly, but he has channeled his emotions to be constructive, supportive and encouraging. By all appearances he is having fun and we are all having fun with him.

RUNNERS-UP:   Aaron Jones, Zadarious Smith

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER:   Jamal Williams

During his first three seasons in Green Bay, Williams seemed to be not much more than a change of pace power runner, a between-the-tackles guy who can get you the first down when it's third and one.   But the change in him this year is obvious and stunning.   He is faster and more elusive in the open field.   He is breaking tackles and making acrobatic catches.   And his easy going jocular attitude is infectious and helpful in the locker room.

RUNNERS-UP:   Alan Lazard, Robert Tonyan, Kingsley Keke

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:   Krys Barnes

The undrafted inside linebacker out of UCLA was a surprise starter in week one and has responded with 25 tackles, 14 of them solo.   He has also demonstrated some range and coverage ability.   He's not there yet, but if he continues to improve he could be a godsend to a unit that is one of the Packers most glaring weaknesses.   That being said, don't be surprised if Kamal Martin comes off IR to win this award at season's end.

MOST VERSATILE PLAYER:   Elgton Jenkins

The coaching staff thought so highly of the second year offensive lineman that they moved him from left guard to start at right tackle in the season opener after Rick Wagner was injured in the preseason.   Jenkins proved he could play tackle as well as guard, and don't be shocked if he becomes the starting center next year, should the Pack not have the money to bring back Corey Linsley. 

RUNNER-UP:   Zadarious Smith

MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER:   Mason Crosby

He's been so reliable for so long that we take him for granted, but he's having another outstanding year.   He is a perfect 8 for 8 on field goal tries, and ranks 4th among NFL kickers in points scored with 40.   Seems we only notice him when he misses an extra point, as he did against the Falcons, the one blot on his impeccable 2020 season to date.

RUNNER-UP:   Kevin King

MOST OVERRRATED PLAYER:   Preston Smith

Perhaps his disappearance from the stat sheet is not totally his fault.   He is being asked to drop into coverage much more this year.   But even so, his total of just 5 tackles and one-half sack through four games is a notable downshift from last year, when he and Zadarious were the most terrorizing pass rush combo in the NFL.

RUNNER-UP:   Jace Sternberger

BEST FOOTWORK:   Davante Adams

Is there anybody better at the juke and deke off the line of scrimmage?   Or the toe drag and tap dance on the boundary?   Come back soon Davante.   Your choreography is a thing of beauty.

BEST HAIR:   Robert Tonyan

Hard to beat that George Kittle-style man bun.

RUNNER-UP:   Billy Turner

MOST LIKELY TO BREAK OUT AFTER THE BYE:   Marques Valdes-Scantling

Once Davante Adams returns and starts forcing the defense to lean its coverage toward him again, look for MVS to feast on single coverage, particularly on deep patterns.

RUNNER-UP:   A.J. Dillon

BEST PLAY OF THE SEASON:   Chandon Sullivan pick six

RUNNERS-UP:   Aaron Jones sideline catch, Adrian Amos end zone pass break-up

BEST JOB ON THE TEAM:   Jordan Love

The first round draft pick will make over three million dollars guaranteed this year and probably never have to suit up for a game.   All he has to do is watch and learn.   Enjoy the ride Jordan, because in two or three years you will be expected to replace one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game.   No pressure.
