Defensive line talent is Packers’ best-kept secret entering 2022

For years, the Green Bay Packers struggled to assemble the right pieces around Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark, who consistently dominated but rarely got enough help.

The lingering issue appears to be rectified entering the 2022 season.

The Packers’ best-kept secret this year? The depth and talent of the defensive line overall.

General manager Brian Gutekunst attacked the position group this offseason, signing veteran Jarran Reed and using a first-round pick on Georgia’s Devonte Wyatt and a seventh-round pick on Miami’s Jonathan Ford.

Reed, Wyatt and Ford provide another talent infusion for a group that already features Clark, Dean Lowry and 2021 fifth-round pick TJ Slaton.
