Packers Tasked with Finding Raven Greene's Replacement

Back during training camp, I wrote about how this Green Bay Packers' defense had missed Raven Greene in 2019 after he suffered what ended up being a season-ending injury in Week 2. At the time, I chose that topic because of the important role that he plays in Mike Pettine's defense as the dime linebacker.

Now, this certainly isn't an easy role to fill either. It requires a player who can do a little bit of everything while also having a full understanding of the entire defense. It takes a player who is athletic enough to hang with tight ends, running backs, and slot receivers in coverage, as well as a player physical enough to matchup against the run.
