Packers: 3 takeaways from Day 2 of training camp 2022
3. Rashan Gary is off to a dominant start
Rashan Gary is a breakout candidate for the Packers this season. He made significant improvements last year, ranking near the top of the league in various pass-rushing categories.
This could be the season that he puts it all together and puts up huge numbers in sacks and pressures.
It hasn’t taken long for Gary to get going at training camp.
Haven’t tweeted it yet but Rashan Gary has looked like a monster off the edge the past two days. Powerful, explosive

Just how impressive has Gary been so far?
Well, if tackling was allowed at practice, he could’ve made a ton of sacks already.
Fan behind me: “If Rashan Gary was allowed to tackle, he’d have a dozen sacks.”

Which is ridiculous…he’d have at least double that.
Gary had a dominant end to the 2021 season. He was the star of the show in the Packers’ divisional round loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay didn’t win the game, but Gary’s performance deserved a victory.
If he can build on that and continue to improve this year, he could be one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
In the opening couple of practices, he looks well on his way to a big season.
Gary is one of the most important players on the entire roster. He is going to give the Packers’ tackles real problems throughout the summer. But the good news is that come September, he will be doing the same to opposing offensive linemen around the league.
