Packers: Ranking the top 10 players from 2022 season
The Green Bay Packers‘ season ended in disappointment, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t standout performances throughout the season.
While the team was inconsistent, many players had excellent seasons in 2022.
Here are my rankings for the Packers’ top 10 players this year.
10. Quay Walker
While he was ejected twice and struggled at times, Walker showed a ton of potential in his first season. He was excellent in coverage and finished the season with a team-best 121 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and seven pass defenses.
9. Aaron Rodgers
Played most of the season with a broken thumb. His numbers were below his MVP standards, but still a solid year for Rodgers, who threw for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
8. Allen Lazard
Lazard consistently made plays, finishing the season with 60 catches for a career-high and team-best 788 yards and six touchdowns.
7. Elgton Jenkins
Struggled at right tackle after returning from a significant injury, but a move back to left guard helped Jenkins rediscover his best form.
6. Rashan Gary
Before suffering a season-ending injury, Gary was on pace for a career year. In the nine games he played, Gary made six sacks, 12 quarterback hits, and forced a fumble.
5. David Bakhtiari
It’s quite incredible how Bakhtiari stepped back into the starting lineup and played as if he hadn’t missed any time. Still a special player, Bakhtiari was at his All-Pro best when healthy.
4. Keisean Nixon
A first-team All-Pro, Nixon led the NFL in kick return yards. His best came against the Minnesota Vikings, a 105-yard touchdown.
3. Christian Watson
A star in the making, Watson caught a Packers-best seven touchdowns. He finished his rookie season with 611 yards on 41 catches, dominating down the stretch after a slow start.
2. Jaire Alexander
A second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler this season, Alexander was at his best with 14 pass defenses and a career-high five interceptions.
1. Aaron Jones
Jones set a new career-high in rushing yards with 1,121, while also scoring a total of five touchdowns. The Packers are at their best when the offense runs through Jones.
