After basically redshirting his rookie season, all signs point toward Rashan Gary having a monster second-season for the Packers. After being drafted with the 12th overall pick in 2019, some fans weren’t content with his passive role on game days, pleading their case that a player selected that high should be ready to make an immediate impact. However, it appears the coaching staff and front office knew what they were doing all along.

Gary has been all over the place in training camp if reports are to be believed. He dominated whoever lined up in front of him, showing off a unique blend of strength, speed and quickness along with a newfound set of pass-rushing moves.

Although Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith are ahead of him on the depth chart, you can bet your bottom dollar defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will find a way to get all three of them on the field at once. Now that’s a scary thought for opposing offenses.
