Packers 2022 Roster Predictions: At edge, backup roles are wide open

Continuing Acme Packing Company’s site-wide project breaking down the Green Bay Packers’ roster and predicting the team’s 53-man roster, our attention turns to the edge rushers. Rashan Gary and Preston Smith are entrenched as starters, with Gary ascending as one of the game’s elites, but depth is a serious issue for the team, and competition for the backup roles should be competitive. As one of the more vulnerable positions on the team, any hint of production from the down-roster players during camp could turn a former UDFA into an important backup, or even a rotational player.
