The Packers' 2017 season kicks off Sunday as Green Bay hosts the Seattle Seahawks in a high-stakes Week 1 matchup at Lambeau Field (3:25 p.m. CT on FOX).

In 2016, the Packers had a tumultuous year, starting out 4-2 before losing four straight games in a midseason slump and then recovering to win their last six and make the playoffs. They won their first two postseason contests before being blown out against the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game.

Here is a look at Green Bay's officially listed starters on offense, defense and special teams for 2017, along with some key stats, fun facts and how to connect with the players.
