3. Muhammad Wilkerson

Muhammad Wilkerson signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Packers this offseason and will look to help take their talented defensive line to the next level.

Wilkerson made his only Pro Bowl appearance back in 2015 due to his ability to get after the quarterback. He recorded 12 sacks that season and has another double-digit sack total to his name as well (10.5 in 2013).

The Packers need more of that, especially with the questions that face their outside linebackers’ ability to get after the quarterback.

Wilkerson will form one of the best defensive lines in the NFL alongside Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels. Dean Lowry and Montravius Adams will provide enough quality snaps as well in order to keep the three starters fresh. Look for him to be motivated and amped up this season.
