  "account": "Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd could prove to be a breakout star for the team in the 2026 season, according to safety Evan Williams. Williams, a former breakout player himself, believes that many people have forgotten the full potential Lloyd possesses. Lloyd has made a strong showing over the offseason, participating in the entire workout program and training camp workouts without any injury concerns. As a third-round pick in 2024, Lloyd possesses explosive movement abilities and the potential to contribute as a receiver in addition to his running. Despite facing setbacks due to injuries in the past, Williams asserts that Lloyd is poised to \"turn some heads\" this year. Should Lloyd stay healthy and perform at his best, he could provide the Packers with a potent 1-2 punch at the running back position, complementing veteran Josh Jacobs.",
