Improving Special Teams Will Be Key For the Packers in 2020

Long-time Packers fans are only too familiar with the team’s struggles on special teams in recent seasons. It has been a problem for the team for several years and has cost them several games.

In 2018, the Packers were ranked dead last in the league at overall special teams according Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings. Special teams coordinator Ron Zook was let go and replaced by Shawn Mennenga. The Packers improved to 26th in the Gosselin’s rankings which was a step forward but the team still has a long way to go.

The Pack has not been ranked higher than 16th in the league on special teams since 2013 and were ranked 26th or lower in three of the last four seasons.
