One of the most surprising players to become an every-down contributor for the 2023 Green Bay Packers is tackle Rasheed Walker, who played just four special teams snaps as a rookie last season. Coming into training camp this summer, the expectation was that Walker, at best, was going to be fourth on the depth chart at tackle behind left tackle David Bakhtiari and Zach Tom and Yosh Nijman, who were expected to compete for the right tackle job. Since then, Bakhtiari has been shut down again with a knee complication, and after Walker beat Nijman out for the swing tackle gig, the second-year bookend has now found himself starting on quarterback Jordan Love’s blindside.
