GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have short- and long-term needs at defensive end. Some of the edge-rusher prospects fit better than others.
One of the best fits in the 2024 NFL Draft class is Western Michigan’s Marshawn Kneeland, a potential first-round pick who is scheduled to have a predraft visit with the team.
