Whether it has been with high drafts picks, big free-agent contracts or defensive coordinators and new assistants, the Packers have invested in just about every way possible on defense.
Now, you have to ask, will any of it finally pay off in 2019?
There are reasons to be optimistic. On just about every level of the defense, there are proven playmakers.
On the defensive line, there is Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels. At linebacker, you have Blake Martinez, Preston Smith, Zadarius Smith and first-round pick Rashan Gary. In the secondary even, guys like Jaire Alexander, Kevin King, Josh Jackson, Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage all offer reasons to be excited.
