Packers 2020 Grades: Defense leans heavily on shallow depth at safety

Over two weeks, Acme Packing Company takes a look at each position group on the Green Bay Packers and provides grades and insight on how they performed in the 2020 season. Today, we examine the safeties.

Mike Pettine’s preference for lighter defenses put a lot of the Packers’ defensive burden on their safeties.

Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage were about as good of a safety duo as you could ask for, and at their best provided stability and playmaking, respectively.
