Cheese Curds, 10/20: Rashan Gary is delivering, Sammy Watkins is recovering

Don’t look now, but Rashan Gary is still tied for the fifth-lowest odds in the race for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

The Green Bay Packers outside linebacker remains one of the breakout stars in the league this season, as he continues to play up to the level expected of him by his coaches and fans. Gary is one of seven players tied for second in the NFL with six sacks and trails the league leader by just a half-sack. It’s a good thing, because the defense has needed his impact plays to help it get teams out of advantageous situations and into third-and-longs.
