I happened to be watching NFL Network the other day. Former Packer receiver James Jones was on, raving about the Green Bay defense for the coming season. “The Packers, if they stay healthy, could well have the best defense in the NFL this year” he gushed. It’s not an unusual take this offseason.
The perception seems to be that, since the Green Bay defense played so well in the playoff game against the 49ers, combined with the addition of two defensive players in the first round of the draft, the re-signing of Rasul Douglas and De’Vondre Campbell, and the return of Jaire Alexander, the unit should be unstoppable.
