Packers' Faulty Defensive Line May Provide Reason for Concern

A defensive line whose strength once hinged on the performances of Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji—both out of the league in 2017—has been in a state of flux over the last couple of seasons with no signs of stagnancy in sight.

The Packers enter 2017 with a defensive front that has no issue getting to the quarterback. They were ranked 11th a season ago in sack percentage with a sack on 5.99 percent of their snaps, finishing sixth in the league in sack totals. It's a few notches down from their 7.54 percentage in 2015. The only problem is consistently doing so.
