Cory's Corner: The Gold Standard Of Depth

What’s the one thing about the Packers that keeps getting brought up?

(And if you say wide receiver, I’m turning this car around.)

Without a doubt, it’s the depth.

The Packers have one of the best quarterbacks in the league and maybe the best cornerback in the league, but the strength of this team lies in its numbers.

And that’s a huge kudos to Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. Would the Packers have been able to win 13 games three straight seasons without amazing depth? The answer is a hard no. Guys like left tackle David Bakhtiari, tight end Robert Tonyan, outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith, nose tackle Kenny Clark, outside linebacker Preston Smith, wide receiver Davante Adams and running back Aaron Jones have all missed time in the last three years.
