Packers: Top 15 players to watch at training camp
6. Muhammad Wilkerson
One of the Packers’ biggest offseason signings, Muhammad Wilkerson could have a huge impact in Green Bay. Wilkerson has proven he can play at an elite level in the past, and we also know he’s a good fit in Mike Pettine’s defense after their time together with the New York Jets. We’ll get to see how Wilkerson fits into Pettine’s plans along with Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark at training camp.

5. Oren Burks
Oren Burks could become an important player in Pettine’s defense. The third-round pick brings versatility to Green Bay’s defense, and could be used in a number of ways by Pettine. At training camp we’ll begin to see how the Packers plan to use Burks.
4. Vince Biegel
Vince Biegel lost half of his rookie season due to injury. Without an offseason to prepare, he had to get up to speed quickly when he was finally healthy. Now with a full offseason behind him, Biegel will have a chance to make an impact to the Packers’ pass rush. A fourth-round pick last year, the Packers have high hopes for Biegel, and if he can step up and become a key contributor at outside linebacker, it will be great news for the entire defense. The Packers need to get more sacks this season. That’s where Biegel could come in.
