Defensive line (6)

Muhammad Wilkerson remains unsigned, but it sure looks like the Packers are confident in their group along the defensive line, especially with the addition of Kingsley Keke in the fifth round.

It’s hard to believe Kenny Clark is still only 23 years old. The Packers’ 2016 first-round pick continues to make a bigger impact on defense each year, and he’ll look to build on his career-best six sacks in 2019. One of the best young defensive tackles in the league, Clark will again be the most important player on the defensive line.

Mike Daniels isn’t far behind, but the Packers will be hoping the former Pro Bowler can stay healthy after missing eight games over the past two seasons. He had previously only missed two in the previous five years combined.

Keke has 12.5 sacks to his name over the past three seasons with Texas A&M, including 7.5 in 2018. He could quickly become a key part of the defensive line rotation.

When close to full strength, the defensive line has been the strongest part of Green Bay’s defense in recent years, and if Clark and Daniels can stay healthy in 2019, they should once again prove to be one of the league’s top defensive tackle duos.
