Special Teams Experience Doesn't Carry Much Weight in 2022 for Packers

While experience alone isn't everything, oftentimes, it does give a player an advantage over those who just haven't spent the same amount of time on the football field. However, when it comes to the Green Bay Packers and their special teams unit, experience may not mean as much this season.

I won't go into great detail because we all know the story quite well at this point, but the Packers' special teams unit from 2021 was abysmal. The blocking was poor, and there were questionable snaps, bad holds, along with missed kicks. Both of the kick and punt return units struggled, as did the coverage teams--not to mention that there was also a shanked punt or two.
