One of the new names that Green Bay Packers fans are going to have to get used to hearing moving forward is Brenton Cox Jr. With the trade of Preston Smith sending the pass-rusher to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the trade deadline, the assumption is that former first-round pick Lukas Van Ness is going to replace Smith as the starting defensive end opposite of Rashan Gary. The position was already heavily rotated, though, which means that players lower on the depth chart — like Cox and Arron Mosby — will have to step up to make up Smith’s absence.
