It feels good, doesn’t it? Yes, the sweet relief of Jaire Alexander’s extension still hasn’t washed over Packer fans, but it’s coming soon. With that major caveat, the 2022 Green Bay Packers defense is the most reassuring offseason development — it has continued to develop and is perhaps peaking. One thing is for sure, this offseason is the most confident Green Bay fans have been in their defense in over a decade.
Arguably, last year might go down as the best of the “back nine” defenses of the Aaron Rodgers era. However, with question marks at inside linebacker and the questionable return of Kevin King for more than other available defensive backs with similar skills and no emotional baggage, the offseason was tumultuous.
