The NFL Top 100 list continued on Friday, and Rashan Gary became Green Bay's first member on the list, coming in at No. 50. He's looking for more as the Packers try to get over the hump and into the Super Bowl.
Green Bay Packers training camp is in full swing. That usually means the end of the season of lists that dominate the dead period when there is no football.The Packers had their first appearance on the list, with Rashan Gary coming in as the NFL’s 50th-best player, according to his peers.Gary, who signed a four-year contract extension last year, is one of the team’s best players on defense, and followed an unusual path to stardom.
Gary spent most of his rookie season as the team’s fourth edge rusher behind both Smiths and Kyler Fackrell. Despite his new contract, Gary had a quiet finish to his 2023 season. He had a huge performance in a signature win against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Gary had three sacks and a forced fumble that Jonathan Owens returned for a touchdown as the Packers secured a 29-22 upset win in Detroit.Gary is looking to be more impactful in his first season under defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
Gary has been dominant in the early goings of training camp. Whether it’s Rasheed Walker, Andre Dillard or Kadeem Telfort, they’ve been no match for Gary. Gary racked up two ,sacks in a red zone period in Friday’s practice. This came after wrecking the team’s offense, mainly against Andre Dillard earlier in the week, which included three sacks in four plays.
“We’re lucky to have a guy like that. I think the other guys around him complement him pretty well, too, so I feel really confident that we have a lot of guys that are capable of getting after the quarterback. We’ve just got to continue to push and get better every day.”
