Defense looks to regain its outside edge

This is the sixth in a series of stories examining the Packers’ roster, position by position, heading into the 2018 NFL Draft. The series continues with the linebackers.

GREEN BAY – Pass rush is still the name of the game in the NFL, and Mike Pettine will have two stalwarts to build around in his first season as the Packers’ defensive coordinator.

Clay Matthews and Nick Perry again stand atop Green Bay’s depth chart at outside linebacker going into 2018 after leading the defense with 7½ and seven sacks, respectively, last season.
