2024 - Entering his fourth season with Packers in 2024, Josh Myers suffered an unimaginable loss when his father, the man who introduced him to football, passed away in July 2024 after battling cancer. Myers’ father had been diagnosed with liver cancer in 2022, which led to a transplant during the 2023 season. Despite receiving positive news following the transplant, the cancer returned in his lungs and was diagnosed as terminal. Myers reported to training camp despite his father’s diagnosis and only missed a few days to return home to Ohio to say goodbye and attend the funeral.
Not only did Myers play this season with a heavy heart, he also battled wrist and pectoral injuries all season. Myers started all 16 games that he appeared in at center, missing only one game (Week 9) due to his wrist injury. He helped the offense rank No. 2 in sacks allowed (22) and No. 5 in total offense (370.8 ypg), rushing offense (146.8 ypg) and yards per play (6.14), one of only two teams in the league (Baltimore) to rank in the top five in the NFL in all four of those categories and the Packers’ first time doing so since 2003. He also helped the offense rank No. 8 in points per game (27.1), No. 6 in yards per carry (4.75) and No. 4 in explosive plays (136) and explosive runs (55). Myers was one of the leaders on an offensive line that allowed zero sacks in six games this season, good for No. 3 in the NFL and the team’s most since 2004 (eight). Myers and the offensive line cleared the way for an offense that posted 2,496 rushing yards, the second most in a season in team history, and 142 rushing first downs, tied for the second most in franchise history. They also blocked for RB Josh Jacobs, who recorded the most rushing yards by a player in his first season with the Packers (1,329) and became just the fourth player in team history to clear the 1,300-yard rushing mark.
Off the field, Myers also played an active role in the community. During Salute to Service week, he spent time painting and assembling a flag with a family of a fallen military member as part of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (T.A.P.S.). Myers also supported “The Jansen Myers Child Abuse Foundation,” as part of the NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative this season.
