Outside Linebackers (5)

Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Rashan Gary, Jonathan Garvin, Randy Ramsey

This position is the same from a year ago. Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary will be the starting outside linebackers and give the Packers an elite one-two punch. Preston Smith will likely move into the reserve role, but will still see plenty of time spelling the two of them.

Jonathan Garvin and Randy Ramsey will be the reserves who play sparingly. They give Green Bay some good size and will have the potential to contribute if there are injuries to the guys ahead of them. There aren’t likely to be any surprises here, as the other guys currently on the roster don’t have much of a chance to make waves.
