All 11 Green Bay Packers‘ 2022 rookie class members made the initial roster after varying performances in the preseason.

Tariq Carpenter was one of the four seventh-round picks Green Bay made this season and kicks off the season at the bottom of the rankings. He had a quiet training camp where he failed to move the needle and generate excitement around his current and future play.

With all eleven Green Bay Packers’ 2022 rookie class members making the final roster, here is a ranking from worst to first.

He’s fortunate the Packers’ safety situation is a complete mess, opening the door for him to remain on the roster. The Packers have two unquestioned starters in Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage, but it’s a bunch of question marks after that. Rudy Ford and Dallin Leavitt are the other two safeties on the roster, but they are purely special teams players. Rasul Douglas might be the guy the Packers lean on in those situations.

Let’s continue ranking the rest of the rookie class in descending order.
