Inside Linebackers

Coming into the season, De’Vondre Campbell and Quay Walker were supposed to form one of the best inside linebacker duos in the NFL. Surprise, surprise: That hasn’t happened.

Campbell hasn’t played at the same level as 2021 when he had a breakout year and earned First Team All-Pro. He’s been a step slower this season, but has still had some strong moments. He’s also missed time due to an injury.

Walker, one of the Packers’ two first-round picks, has shown off his elite athleticism. He can fly around the field and make hard hits when he makes contact. His issue is diagnosing plays. He’s often out of position and doesn’t know who has the ball.

Grade: C
