GREEN BAY, Wis. – With Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the Green Bay Packers’ defense has always played second fiddle. Taken the back seat. Been the ugly duckling.
That’s not the case with the 2022 NFL season on the horizon. While the offseason trade of Davante Adams created serious questions for an offense that was overwhelmed by the 49ers in the playoffs, expectations are incredibly high for a defense that dominated that postseason matchup.
On paper, general manager Brian Gutekunst has assembled a powerful defense. If everyone’s healthy, there are no weak links. Pro Bowler Kenny Clark anchors the defensive line.
