Green Bay Packers: 5 players with the most to prove during training camp
4. Jake Ryan
Jake Ryan is another mid-round selection, as he was picked in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. However, unlike Davis, Ryan saw the field early and often throughout his first few years with the Packers. Unfortunately, he has failed to capitalize on the playing time.
Ryan has started 22 games over the last three years, but continues to be targeted early and often by opposing offenses. Ryan is probably most notoriously known for chasing running backs and tight ends on passing routes.
Entering his fourth year in the league, Ryan is a pending free agent after the season. He also has third-round pick Oren Burks breathing down his neck. Burks appears to be a much more modern linebacker and a better fit alongside Blake Martinez on the interior thanks to his blazing speed. The pressure is on Ryan to have a great training camp and prove he belongs.
