Ranking Packers’ roster for potential run to Super Bowl 55
25. Marcedes Lewis
Marcedes Lewis will play a pivotal role in supporting the offensive line in Bakhtiari’s absence. Lewis, a glorified tackle at this stage in his career, is counted on to do a lot of blocking on the line as well as occasionally leaking out in the passing game. Can he provide enough support on the outside?
24. Kinglsey Keke and 23. Damon Harrison
Kingsley Keke missed the Packers’ Week 17 contest against the Chicago Bears so hopefully, he’s healthy enough to return for the postseason. Both Keke and Damon Harrison (the Packers’ new prized acquisition) will play huge roles in stopping the run and setting the line of scrimmage for the defense. They could prove to be a game-changing duo for Green Bay alongside star Kenny Clark.
22. Lucas Patrick
As the starting right guard, Lucas Patrick won’t get as much help as before with the loss of Bakhtiari. That means the Packers will count on him to handle his own in more one-on-one situations–something he’s sometimes struggled to do. Patrick must bring his A-game and keep interior pressure from getting to Rodgers on a regular basis.
21. Rick Wagner
Rick Wagner avoided an injury scare and returned against the Bears. He should be the starting right tackle for the playoffs, as he’s earned that right all season long. Although his playing time hasn’t been consistent, he’s earned PFF’s 24th highest grade at tackle among 84 players this season. He’s proven to be a low-key huge pickup for general manager Brian Gutekunst.
