Edge Rusher Depth goes from Concern to Potential Strength

Even with the ups and downs from the Green Bay Packers defense this season, one area that they've been consistently good at has been pressuring the quarterback--ranking top-5 in total pressures generated.

Kenny Clark posted 64 pressures along the interior, the fourth-most among interior defensive linemen and the second-most of his career. Dean Lowry, who typically isn't someone to show up on the stat sheet, logged 42 pressures--the most of his career.

On the outside, Rashan Gary and Preston Smith were two of the most productive edge rushers in the NFL. Gary's 81 pressures were the second-most while Smith's 62 pressures were tied for 10th.
