Examining Packers’ defense and special teams in Part 1 of Football Outsiders Q&A

The Green Bay Packers’ defense might look similar from a schematic perspective in 2021 to the unit that takes the field in 2022, but there will be some significant personnel changes. Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas will both be around for the entire season, one returning from injury and the other signing a long-term deal after a midseason arrival. Add in two first-round picks in Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt and you have the makings of some exciting playmakers at all levels.

The special teams, meanwhile, will have a new coordinator, one who has had great success at every stop in his coaching career.
