The Packers ranked sixth in the NFL in pass defense in 2015. Opposing quarterbacks had an 80.1 rating against Green Bay, which was good for seventh in the league.
And this happened with two rookies playing extensively, a starting safety that missed five games and a slot cornerback miscast as a boundary cornerback for much of the season.
A lot of credit for the Packers’ success against the pass has to go to the secondary.
So some props need to go to the guys who oversaw that unit, cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr. and safeties coach Darren Perry.
