Defensive Line (5)

Kenny Clark, Kingsley Keke, TJ Slaton, Dean Lowry, Tyler Lancaster

Despite a lack of talent upfront (other than Kenny Clark, of course), it’s fairly clear who will make the final roster along the defensive line. There’s no question about Clark’s spot–he’s one of the best defensive linemen in the league. Kinglsey Keke was having a very impressive second season before injuries cost him a chance to play in the postseason.

Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster are likely on their last straw. Both players have failed to live up to contract extensions and are only on the team because of salary cap implications and the lack of better players behind them. TJ. Slaton, a 2021 fifth-round pick, has the potential to become a run-stopping specialist for Green Bay.
