Interior Defensive Line

The middle of the defensive line was supposed to be a strength for Green Bay in 2022. A deep group was led by Kenny Clark and included Jarran Reed, Dean Lowry, T.J. Slaton and first-round pick Devonte Wyatt.

Unfortunately, this group didn’t live up to the hype. Lowry was disappointing for most of the season, Clark wasn’t his same dominant and consistent self, and Wyatt didn’t turn it on until Lowry went down with a season-ending injury.

Lowry and Reed are free agents next year and unlikely to return. Wyatt proved he’s ready for a larger role, but Green Bay still needs at least one more starter-level player on the roster.
