Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff crushed the draft selection of Rashan Gary. Now heading into his fourth season as a pro, I wanted to revisit the Packers drafting Gary back in April of 2019. Green Bay had two 1st round picks that year, opting to spend both of them on defense. Rashan…
I got to thinking this week about when the last time the Packers had this much talent on defense, and of course the first squad that jumped to mind was the 2010 Super Bowl winning unit. I hate to say this, but the last Packers Super Bowl run is starting to reach that point in…
Rashan Gary Is Going To Be Dangerous
2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the movie TAPS and with it, the fourth decade of Tom Cruise being in our lives. Growing up a huge S.E. Hinton fan, I can remember first seeing Cruise in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film adaptation of The Outsiders. The Outsiders–holy smokes. What a cast?!? Patrick Swayze (RIP). Matt…
Packers Extensions: Who Is Next Up
Packers fans, take a breath of relief. Jaire Alexander isn’t going anywhere. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers and their star cornerback agreed to a four-year, $84 million extension making him the highest-paid defensive back based on per year average. Green Bay has historically been known to push all of their money towards their…

The Cleveland Browns seemingly reset the cornerback market following their contract extension with Denzel Ward yesterday. The 5-year extension is reportedly worth $100.5 million for the 24-year-old first-round pick. Is now the time for the Green Bay Packers to extend Jaire Alexander as well? The Packers drafted Alexander out of Louisville with the number 18…
Surprising Packers’ First Round Pick Candidates
I’ve somehow managed to be utterly surprised by each one of Packers’ first round picks in the Brian Gutekunst era. Jaire Alexander was too short. Twitter people said Rashan Gary had bad tape. Darnell Savage and Eric Stokes were mocked in the third round. Jordan Love was a quarterback. I’m sure there were plenty of…
2022 Packers NFL Draft Preview: Defensive Line
Moving onto the first defensive position group of the 2022 NFL Draft preview, the Green Bay Packers are likely paying close attention to this year’s group of defensive linemen. As the team has needs both on the interior of the line and at the edge position (to give both Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary some…
