5 former Packers failing miserably with their new teams in 2023
3. Billy Turner
Unlike some of the other players on this list, Billy Turner wasn't most recently with the Green Bay Packers before he joined the New York Jets. Turner, a former model of versatility on the Green Bay Packers' offensive line, has sort of been following Nathaniel Hackett around.
Turner was obviously playing with the Packers during Hackett's tenure from 2019-21, and then he joined Hackett as a member of the Denver Broncos in 2022, his second stint in the Mile High City. Turner had previously spent three seasons with the Broncos before signing with the Packers in free agency in 2019.

Now, in 2023, Turner followed Hackett to the New York Jets and recently has gotten the chance to actually play, and against the Los Angeles Chargers...Well, let's just say that Turner has had better days.

Billy Turner: 9 pressures, 3 sacks, 2 QB hits
Laken Tomlinson: 7 pressures, 2 sacks, 1 QB hit
Mekhi Becton: 5 pressures, 1 sack
Max Mitchell: 4 pressures, 1 sack
Joe Tippmann: 2 pressures
Also important to note: Zach Wilson's time to throw…
This isn't all about guys who wish they were still in Green Bay, by any means, but I'm sure Turner thinks back to the good old times when he was getting big-money contracts in Green Bay and actually playing well. He might legitimately just not have it anymore at this point.
