Packers Defense 2018 - Defensive Line

If you are a long time Packer Fan, and you have been waiting for a dominate defense, the 2018 Packers Defensive Line may be the start of something good - and the reason is.............


Mike Daniels - 6'0" - 310 lbs - Year 7

Kenny Clark - 6'3" - 314 lbs - Year 3

Muhammad Wilkerson - 6'4" - 315 lbs - Year 8

Dean Lowry - 6'6" - 296 lbs - Year 3

Montravious Adams - 6'4" - 304 lbs - Year 2

Joey Mbu - 6'3" - 313 lbs - Year 2

Tyler Lancaster - 6'3" - 313 lbs - Rookie

James Looney - 6'3" - 287 lbs - Rookie

Connor Sheehy - 6'4" - 295 lbs - Rookie

Daniels, Clark, Wilkerson, Lowry, and Adams.  This looks like the 5 that will lead the way!  Of course, Daniels is the leader & leads by both play on the field, the look, and a vocal leader!  He has some of that "Nasty" that we need!

Now add a young 3 year pro!  Drafted at age 19 , now only 22, last year he started to shine!  My prediction, this may be the break out to all pro year!  Watch #97 this year!

New addition, veteran Muhammad Wilkerson!  This move in the off season could be one of the difference maker!  He also has some of that "Nasty"!  He has the size & the background to be special!

The possible young addition, Montravious Adams!  Last year some injuries & practice squad, wor is he may be ready to make the second year jump!  And at 6'4" & 304 lbs, should help plug that middle!

Dean Lowry, has some nice games last year!  And, had a few big plays!  At 6'6" & 296 lbs is still growing into the body!
