Special Teams will Play Big Role in Determining LB Depth Chart

After years of the Green Bay Packers linebacker position being a weak point on this team, and if we are being honest, not putting a ton of draft or free agent capital into it, in one offseason, this position group has been reshaped.

Following an All-Pro season, the Packers re-signed De’Vondre Campbell to a five-year $50 million deal. Then with the 22nd overall pick, Green Bay selected Quay Walker.

Both bring an ability to play the run and the pass effectively, which will allow Green Bay to stay in their base nickel defense more frequently — which includes two linebackers — and will also make them less predictable.
