ESPN ranks the Green Bay Packers’ roster 10th in the NFL

ESPN ranks the Green Bay Packers’ roster 10th in the NFL

Three ESPN writers got together to rank the best lineups in the NFL, as it stands in July. While the Green Bay Packers didn’t top the list, they did rank in the top third of the league, according to the World Wide Leader’s experts.

The two big questions on the Packers’ depth chart right now are:

  1. Who is going to be the team’s third starting defensive lineman?
  2. Who is going to start at outside cornerback opposite of Keisean Nixon?

ESPN gave those jobs to Karl Brooks (defensive line) and Carrington Valentine (cornerback) for whatever it’s worth. The strength...

The Game

The Packers entered the game in good shape with a 4-1-1 record and as healthy as they would be all year. They would be facing old friend Aaron Rodgers, leading the 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers, along with their signature solid defense, and shiny new toy DK Metcalf.

After their early loss to the Browns, the offense had been humming, putting 40 on the Cowboys...

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers position battles on tap

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers position battles on tap

Position battles are both real and not real.

They’re real in the sense that players are actually going to spend time jockeying for position on the depth chart, earning or losing playing time based on their performance in practice and throughout however many preseason games the Packers actually play this year.

But I always push back on the idea that guys are going to come out of nowhere, win some real or imagined position battle, and earn himself a place on the roster. That rarely happens, if ever. The Packers’ roster has been essentially set since late April, and only...

An introduction to Jonathan Gannon’s defensive philosophy and scheme

An introduction to Jonathan Gannon’s defensive philosophy and scheme

The Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator search began when Jeff Hafley, who coordinated the defense for two seasons, joined the Miami Dolphins as the head coach in January. At the time, sources reported the Packers had agreed to terms with Gannon on January 25, 2026, and the hire was officially announced on February 2nd, with LaFleur saying he was “thrilled” to add someone with Gannon’s experience as both a coordinator and a head coach.

LaFleur was intrigued by Gannon specifically because of the difficulty he’d had game-planning against his defenses when Green Bay faced the Eagles in 2022 and the...

The Game

The Green Bay Packers came out of their Week 5 bye week by reeling off a three-game winning streak, defeating the Bengals, Cardinals and Steelers. The Week 8 Steelers game was one of the Packers’ best offensive performances of the season, with Jordan Love completing 20 straight passes in front of Aaron Rodgers: the man he sat behind for 3 years. (Love’s EPA in the Steelers game was...

Green Bay Packers News: Bottoms up for Evan Williams

It was a big weekend for Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams. The young man who shares a name with a longstanding American whiskey brand had a big 4th of July weekend, as some big personal news for him came to light over the holiday.

Williams is now engaged, having announced the big news on Instagram heading into the weekend. It’s an exciting time for the young man, who is headed into his third NFL season as the Packers presumed starter at one safety position and who helps to make that one of the stronger position groups in the starting...

The first week of APC’s top plays of 2025 countdown concludes with a look at play number six, which came in a crucial late-season divisional matchup.

The winner of this game would be sitting in 1st place in the NFC North....

Green Bay Packers News: Love vs. man coverage; all quiet on the defensive front

Green Bay Packers News: Love vs. man coverage; all quiet on the defensive front

The Green Bay Packers, like many teams in 2025, had great success attacking defenses when they played man coverage. The increased use of pre-snap motion has increased the passing game’s efficiency against man in recent years, and the Packers are certainly one of the teams to lean into that approach most prominently.

But no single quarterback had a better year throwing the ball against man than Jordan Love. That’s not just anecdotal — the stats back that up. Now, with a wide receiver group that is one of the fastest groups in the NFL, they may be able to attack...

Top running backs of all-time: 5 Packers crack top-100 list

Top running backs of all-time: 5 Packers crack top-100 list

Last year, Windy City Gridiron’s Bill Zimmerman ranked the top 100 quarterbacks of all time, which featured former Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the seventh-ranked player on the list. This summer, Zimmerman tackled the running back position, this time with a more analytical approach.

Zimmerman ranked backs on a point system (within tiers), awarding 1 point for every 1,000 yards from scrimmage they recorded in their career, 5-4 points if they made the All-Decade team, 5 points for MVP seasons, 4 points for Offensive Player of the Year seasons, 3-2 points for All-Pro seasons and 1 point for...

Packers Top Plays of 2025, #7: Tucker Kraft caps career day with second TD

Acme Packing Company’s Top Plays of 2025 countdown continues today with play number 7.

Week 8 of the 2025 season was Tucker Kraft’s masterclass. He had his first career 100-yard game in the Green Bay Packers’ week two win against Washington, but National Tight End day brought his game to a different level. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kraft demonstrated everything that he provides to the Packers’ offense, catching 7 of 9 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns. His final catch of the game was this amazing catch-and-run to finish out the biggest performance so far in his pro career....

Packers Top Plays of 2025, #8: Lucas Havrisik sets a Packers record

The next installment of our 2025 top plays looks at one of the most impressive individual moments of the season: when a lowly practice squad kicker turned loose the kick of his life and set a Packers record.

The Packers’ kicking game has been wandering through the wilderness after Mason Crosby’s departure. Nobody has been able to stabilize their field goal and PAT operation for long, not even Brandon McManus, who steadied things for a time in 2024 before inconsistency and injury dogged him in the 2025 season.

But for a brief moment, the Packers found a savior in the...
