The Matthew Golden Hype Train has left the station for the Green Bay Packers. Whether it is the notion of Golden’s 4.29 speed adding even more explosiveness

Pro Football Focus is running an interesting experiment ... For reference, PFF claims that the Packers’ biggest needs going into the draft are outside wide receiver, edge defender, defensive ...

GREEN BAY – It became official this week with the release of Jaire Alexander that the Packers will go into the 2025 season with Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine as their top three cornerbacks. General Manager Brian Gutekunst has no qualms about that.

"Go to the Vikings. They need a corner!" she said. Pro Football Focus analyst Trevor Sikkema also named Minnesota as one of the top potential landing spots for Alexander ahead of the 2025 season.

Per PFF's charting, the Packers generated pressure on an NFL-best 48.3 percent of blitz attempts and 46.7 percent of stunts. PFF pointed to linebacker Edgerrin Cooper and cornerback Keisean Nixon as successful blitzers who helped Hafley generate pressure -- both Cooper and Nixon had elite pass-rush grades over 90.0 in 2024.

That started this offseason with the overhauling of the team's defense, particularly the linebacker and cornerback positions. Now gone were Robert Spillane, Divine Deablo, Nate Hobbs and Jack Jones, all of whom were starters the last two seasons.

Pro Football Focus ranked the top 32 players at every position group. Taking it one step further, we focused on the best of those players. Where do the Packers rank among the NFC North teams?
