Key to improved run defense, Packers DL TJ Slaton making splash in training camp

Now entering his third NFL season, Green Bay Packers interior defensive lineman TJ Slaton is going to be relied on much more heavily in 2023, and he is one player who is off to a fast start in training camp.

Brian Gutekunst said that Slaton, Devonte Wyatt and Kenny Clark were going to be the anchors along the defensive line. This trio has been the Packers’ starting unit when they are in their 3-4 base defense. When they switch to nickel, and Keisean Nixon comes on the field to play from the slot, it has often been Slaton who remains next to Clark on the defensive front.
