Unsurprisingly, Packers ILBs rank among NFL's worst

The Green Bay Packers will enter the 2020 season with one of the NFL’s most unproven group of inside linebackers.

GM Brian Gutekunst swapped Blake Martinez for Christian Kirksey and drafted Kamal Martin in the fifth round, but Pro Football Focus still believes the Packers have one of the five worst inside linebacker groups.

PFF ranked the team’s inside linebackers at No. 28 overall, above only the Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams.

The Packers will be relying on Kirksey, a long-time starter for the Browns, to bounce back from two injury-plagued seasons and become a solid player in the middle of the defense.
