2019 Recap: Outside Linebackers

Moving into the second aspect of the Green Bay Packers defense, the defense’s outside linebacker unit is full of playmakers that also have a lot of money coming their way. One of the most productive units on the entire Packers roster, this unit was made a huge priority in free agency last offseason.

Led by the Smith brothers, Preston and Za’Darius, combined with depth piece Kyler Fackrell and 2019 first-round draft piece, the fluidity of this position group is such a key asset for defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, as he tries to rediscover the success that made him such a dominant leader of the defense in years past.
