Positive: Defensive front
For the first time in years, the Green Bay defensive line has a chance to be among the three or four very best in the entire league. Preston Smith, Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary make up what looks like a genuinely terrifying defensive line, assuming a couple of things work in the Packers’ favor.
First of all, Preston and Za’Darius Smith have to live up to their giant contracts they both signed in the offseason. Za’Darius Smith is among the more “rising stars” in the NFL, and while he has shown an ability to wreck opposing offenses, he still has plenty to prove when it comes to establishing himself as one of the elite defensive linemen in football.
