Green Bay Packers

How will the Packers secondary hold up this season?

Everyone knows the Green Bay Packers offense will be fine as long as quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a factor.

The biggest question, though, is how good the defense will be, namely the secondary.

Green Bay brought in rookie defensive backs Kevin King and Josh Jones via the NFL Draft. But as young defensive backs go, it’s likely they’ll both struggle a bit in year one. That’s common, and it could hurt the Packers quite a bit.

Keep in mind, the Packers allowed 4,308 yards through the air a year ago — 31st in the NFL — and there isn’t a lot of confidence in this stat line improving.
