661 - What Will the Packers' EDGE Group Accomplish in 2023?

See this content in the original post

The Packers have had a pretty strong edge rusher group for most of the Matt LaFleur era, and that shouldn’t change this year, even with Rashan Gary’s injury. In fact, if Gary can capture his pre-injury form at any point this year, the Packers might have a pretty special group.

Low expectations players (1:30)

The Packers have a few players in this category this year, but they’re still interesting from a developmental perspective. Low expectations players this year include:

  • KeShawn Banks

  • Brenton Cox Jr.

  • La’Darius Hamilton

  • Jonathan Garvin

We also mentioned international player Kenneth Odumegwu here.

Moderate expectations players (11:00)

These are players who should have a well-defined role on this year’s team while not being expected to carry a position group. This year, the moderate-expectations EDGE rushers include:

  • Kingsley Enagbare

  • Justin Hollins

High expectations players (15:27)

High-expectations players should be core members of the team, and the Packers’ EDGE rusher room looks well stocked from that perspective. Even accounting for a still-recovering Rashan Gary, the Packers look to have a strong group. Here’s who falls into this category this year:

  • Lukas Van Ness

  • Preston Smith

  • Rashan Gary
