Head coach Matt LaFleur expressed his excitement about the depth of talent and experience that the team has built up in both the edge rusher and defensive tackle positions.

The team believes that they have solid depth at defensive end and tackle, with players like Van Ness set to make significant contributions despite being in his second season. LaFleur commended Van Ness for his hard work and physical condition going into the new season, expressing excitement about his potential. General manager Brian Gutekunst has invested resources in rebuilding the defense, focusing on both experienced veterans and promising young talents. The addition of free-agent Xavier McKinney and draft picks Edgerrin Cooper and Javon Bullard adds depth to the back seven, but the foundation of a great defense starts up front. Veterans like Gary, Smith, and Clark bring valuable experience, while players like Enagbare, Wyatt, Brooks, Wooden, and Slaton offer a mix of skills and reliability in their respective roles. The Packers are looking for McKinney to make an impact at safety and for Jaire Alexander to return to top form in the secondary.

With a blend of seasoned players and emerging talents, Green Bay is optimistic about what their defensive front can achieve in the upcoming campaign.
