Green Bay Packers inside linebacker Isaiah McDuffie has taken a big step forward this season. While the third-year man out of Boston College started the 2023 campaign as a backup and core member of the special teams units, he has stepped into the starting lineup when injuries hit and has taken a significant step forward with his play on defense.
McDuffie has started four of the Packers eight games at inside linebacker this season due to injuries to both starters at the position, De’Vondre Campbell, and Quay Walker. Despite starting only half the team’s games and playing only 47 percent of the Packers defensive snaps, he presently ranks third on the team with 43 total tackles.
