On a team with as much offensive firepower and defensive potential as the Green Bay Packers, it’s easy to forget that the special teams squad even exists. That stands to reason because it’s been a largely forgettable unit that’s produced more blunders than bright spots. At the end of the 2020 season, Matt LaFleur showed incumbent special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga the door and promoted his assistant Maurice Drayton to the top post. Will Drayton be able to coach this unit up in 2021, or will we continue to see opposing teams running free?
Mason Crosby is set to return for his 15th season as a Green Bay Packer, coming off a stellar 2020 season as the lone bright spot on the otherwise abysmal 28th ranked special teams unit according to Rick Gosselin’s exhaustive rankings.
