The Green Bay Packers' defense seemed to strike gold in 2024 with the signing of Xavier McKinney, who ended the year with a career-high eight interceptions. He was a cornerstone in the new turnover-focused defense schemed up by defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Now, with Micah Parsons coming via a trade with the Dallas Cowboys, Hafley has made it clear that the team will be doubling down on creating turnovers.
The addition of Parsons will allow the Packers to create more pressure on the quarterback, increasing the potential for more turnover-worthy plays. The 26-year-old earned 12 sacks in 13 games last year and ranked third in pass rush win-rate among all edge rushers.
