Tim Williams or Jonathan Garvin – Who’s Best Suited for the 4th Pass Rusher Role?

Preston Smith, Za’Darius Smith, and Rashan Gary are already penciled in as the top three pass rushers for the Green Bay Packers for their 2020 NFL season. But with the role of the fourth rusher opening up with the offseason departure of Kyler Fackrell to the New York Giants, there are a few players that are being looked at as potential role fillers for that.

Former Alabama Crimson Tide and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tim Williams is the likeliest of in-house options, seeing as how his familiarity with DC Mike Pettine’s scheme (having been signed in 2019). For Williams, his pedigree was seen as a leading trait for his success in the league, having played under Nick Saban.
