Youth Helps Sink Packers in Special Teams Rankings

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have a first-year coordinator on special teams.

They have a rookie punt returner. A question mark at kickoff returner. A first-year long snapper with two games of experience. An end-of-camp change at punter.

No wonder the Packers have one of the worst special teams in the NFL.

Ben Kotwica, a two-time NFL special teams coordinator, posted his midseason special teams rankings for The 33rd Team. Led by first-time coordinator Maurice Drayton, the Packers are 25th.

Green Bay is a hot mess in most phases.

Field goal: Last year, Mason Crosby was one of two kickers to make every field-goal attempt.
