Tipa Galeai, Ladarius Hamilton early favorites for Packers’ open depth roles at OLB?

All eyes are on the Green Bay Packers wide receiver position this offseason – and understandably so. But another position with some major question marks is at edge rusher.

The Packers do have Rashan Gary and Preston Smith leading the way, and they were two of the more productive edge rushers in the NFL last season, both finishing top 10 in pressures created, according to Pro Football Focus.

However, edge rusher is a very heavily rotated position, which both Gary and Smith playing about 63% of the defensive snaps from a season ago. Outside linebackers coach Jason Rebrovich would also mention earlier this offseason that he wants a rotation of four players each week, and as of now, those third and fourth rotational roles are very much up for grabs.
