Most important Packers for Super Bowl Run: Rashan Gary

The most talented pass-rusher on the Packers, there’s no doubt Rashan Gary will have an increased role in this postseason.

Za’Darius Smith’s return is still and unknown after he’s been out since Week 1. Even if he does return, his availability will probably be limited due to his back and lack of conditioning.

That will leave a tremendous amount of pressure on Gary. Gary’s taken a leap in his ability to get after the quarterback–posting career-highs in sacks (9.5), tackles for loss (8), quarterback knockdowns (16) and hurries (19). Equally as important will be his ability to stay disciplined in the running game.
