Green Bay Packers: 2016 opponents who could be game-breakers

4. J.J. Watt

The hulking defensive lineman is not only the most disruptive defender the Packers will have to face, but he’s arguably the best player in the league.

How much better is Watt than the rest of his peers? Consider that no defensive lineman has had more sacks, tackles or passes defensed over the past two seasons.

The man is virtually unstoppable when you combine his ability to anticipate the snap count with his length, power, first-step explosiveness and non-stop motor.

The Wisconsin-born defender played with persistent groin injuries and a broken hand and still posted 17.5 sacks, 29 tackles for a loss and 50 quarterback hits last season.

Double and triple-team blocking will be in order when facing the monstrous Texan while Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus can’t be afforded opportunities to wreak havoc in the backfield as a result of the extra attention given to No. 99.
