7. Mysterious Packers Heading Into Training Camp: Eric Stokes

Eric Stokes has had a wild ride in his short NFL career so far. He’s seen it all, from being a first-round pick to not being in the initial defensive plans. But hey, he proved them wrong and showed he had what it takes to be a starter in his rookie season.

Fast forward to his second year; it was a bit of a roller coaster. He started off as a starter on the outside, but unfortunately, he hit a rough patch and struggled in coverage before his season ended prematurely due to an injury.

Stokes is still on the road to recovery and finds himself down on the depth chart. But here’s the thing, setbacks can be the fuel that ignites a comeback. Will Stokes use this opportunity to bounce back stronger than ever? Only time will tell.
