Green Bay Packers 2023 Player Rankings 50-46: Trying To Break Through

The Green Bay Packers’ quest to finalize their roster for the upcoming season brings forth a captivating mix of players competing for the final spots.

Like the rest of the team, this group is brimming with youthful enthusiasm and a hunger to showcase their talent to the world. Although there are still hurdles to overcome, the potential within this exciting collective has laid the groundwork for promising NFL careers.

As we reach the midpoint of this series, it’s worth reflecting on the journey thus far. For a comprehensive look at the previous rankings and how we arrived at this point, be sure to explore the preceding articles:

We are ranking every single player on the Green Bay Packers’ 90-man roster this offseason, continuing with spots 50 through 46.

50. Tyler Goodson

Tyler Goodson’s offseason work has garnered glowing reviews from his teammates, highlighting his dedication and improvement. While he still needs to showcase his skills on the field, the coaching staff values the positive feedback from his peers.

Considering that the Packers carried only two running backs on their initial roster last year, a similar scenario could unfold. However, Goodson’s progress may elevate him beyond a practice squad position, potentially earning him a spot on the initial roster. As training camp and preseason unfold, his performance will determine his chances, but he has positioned himself well to make a compelling case for a roster spot.

49. Carrington Valentine

Carrington Valentine currently holds a promising position for the final cornerback spot on the Packers’ roster, trailing behind established players such as Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas, Eric Stokes, Keisean Nixon, and Corey Ballentine. However, he faces competition from Shemar Jean-Charles and Kiondre Thomas, making the battle for the spot intense during training camp. While it’s a closely contested race, Valentine has a slight advantage at this stage. Training camp and preseason games will ultimately determine who secures the final cornerback position.

48. Malik Heath

Malik Heath has generated significant buzz during Organized Team Activities and Minicamp, capturing attention with his standout performances. Despite being relatively unknown, he made a strong impression and left his mark. The Packers already have five seemingly secured spots with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Samori Toure, and Dontayvion Wicks. While it’s possible that Green Bay opts to keep only five wide receivers, Heath is making it challenging for them to overlook his potential impact. To solidify his case, he must sustain the positive momentum he established during OTAs and minicamp as he heads into training camp.

47. Karl Brooks

Green Bay has experienced significant changes on their defensive line, with the departures of Jarran Reed and Dean Lowry in free agency. These departures have created prime opportunities for emerging talents like TJ Salton and 2022 first-round pick Devonte Wyatt to make their mark.

Additionally, the team invested draft picks in the position, including selecting Karl Brooks in the sixth round. Brooks brings versatility that sets him apart from Reed and Lowry, adding intrigue to his potential role and usage within the defense. At present, Brooks appears to be in a position to secure the final roster spot among the team’s defensive linemen.

46. Colby Wooden

Colby Wooden, the Packers’ fourth-round pick, carries higher expectations than Brooks. Green Bay anticipates that Wooden will see decent playing time as the team’s fourth defensive lineman. He distinguishes himself from his counterparts with his lighter frame, relying on his agility and quickness to compensate for his size disadvantage. His ability to excel despite his weight difference will be a compelling storyline to follow throughout the season.
