46. Malik Taylor, 45. Ka’dar Hollman, 44. Hunter Bradley, 43. Henry Black, 42. Oren Burks and 41. Ty Summers

These six players to kick off our list are almost exclusively special teamers heading into the playoffs. With Malik Taylor handling the kick return duties, Green Bay is best off if he downs more kicks in the endzone instead of trying to return them.

Ka’dar Hollman, Henry Black and Oren Burks were once a part of a defensive rotation, but their poor play has relegated them exclusively to special teams play. They each have potential, but have also been a part of a struggling third unit that has been vulnerable throughout the year. Hunter Bradley is the long-snapper.

It appears Ty Summers has fallen completely out of the Packers’ rotation at inside linebacker and is purely a special teams player heading into the playoffs. Still, given the struggles Green Bay’s kickoff and punt coverage units have had this season, they’ll need Summers to be at his best.
