It’s not only on the offensive side of the ball where the Green Bay Packers are seeing growth from their young players, but on defense as well, specifically along the interior defensive line with rookie Karl Brooks.
Over the last two games, despite ranking 44th out of 88 eligible interior defensive linemen league-wide in total pass rush snaps during that span, Brooks ranks 14th in total pressures with seven and is tied for ninth in PFF’s pass rush win rate metric. For some context, Brooks totaled 11 pressures in Green Bay’s first nine games of the season, illustrating the growth that he’s experienced over the course of the year.
