Before we fully shift our attention to the current Packers roster and the grind of training camp, July offers a rare window to zoom out and take a broader look at the franchise's performance over the past decade. It's a chance to reflect on who's carried the load, led the charge, and left their statistical mark during a ten-year stretch. Ultimately, these are the players we will remember most in years to come.

While single-season stats are easy to find, identifying cumulative team leaders over multiple seasons can be a little trickier. That's what makes exercises like this worthwhile — they give us a clearer sense of sustained excellence, not just one-off standout campaigns. Whether you're a numbers nerd, a nostalgic fan, or just killing time until the preseason kicks off, here's a deep dive into the Packers' statistical leaders since 2015. 

**Snaps: Kenny Clark - 6,447**

The most loyal servant of this era of the Packers, Clark has over 1,500 more snaps than second place and those in pursuit aren't anywhere close. Of all players ranked 2-8 here, nobody is left on the Packers. Rashan Gary is 9th with a little over 3,000. 

**Sacks: Preston Smith - 47.5**

My first guess here would have been Kenny Clark who actually comes in third with 49 sacks. Splitting the difference is Rashan Gary in second place with 43.5 sacks. This group will (hopefully) have a new leader by the end of this upcoming season, but for now it is a nice reflection of the perhaps underrated contribution Preston Smith made to the Packers over his tenure. 

**Total Pressures: Kenny Clark - 406**

Not even close here. Clark is over 100 clear of 2nd place Rashan Gary. If you were to rank the best Packers defenders over this past decade, I'm putting Kenny Clark in the top spot without debate. 

**Interceptions: Jaire Alexander - 15**

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix held strong in this category for years largely thanks to his 5-pick Pro Bowl season in 2016. Jaire's interceptions of Jalen Hurts and Will Levis last September secured his name atop the list here. He's also well in-front on pass breakups with 52, over twice as many as Adrian Amos in 2nd place. 

**Tackles: Blake Martinez - 490**

The tackling machine played just his rookie contract in Green Bay — while he wasn't really a difference maker in the middle of the defense, Martinez sure could get to the ball carrier. Adrian Amos is once again second and a long way off the top spot. 

**Missed tackles: Darnell Savage - 67**

I would have had Martinez slam dunk selected for this one too. Instead he comes in second place with 55. Savage's missed tackle rate was an eye popping 18% over five seasons but he's getting his act together in Jacksonville. 

**Special Teams Tackles: Oren Burks - 29**

Somewhat surprising that the most special teams tackles anyone has is just 29. Burks has also missed 13 tackles on teams — although missed tackle rates are generally much larger at the high speeds of football's forgotten phase. 

PFF's highest graded special teamer for the Packers over the last 10 years is Eric Wilson, and as someone who watches special teams film religiously, I wholeheartedly agree. 

**Some other interesting statistical notes:**

\- Despite being well down the list in terms of snaps played, Kevin King is 2nd behind only long-serving Kenny Clark in penalties committed.  

\- Jaire Alexander has the highest PFF grade of any Packers defender over the last 10 years at 91.4. But don't rule out a 2025 comeback from 5th place Makinton Dorleant who earned an 87.1 grade for his 5 career snaps back in 2016 during the Run the Table days. 

\- Jaire is well ahead on all negative coverage stats like yards allowed and dropped interceptions due to sheer playing volume. Yes, 'Jaire Alexander' and 'playing volume' in the same sentence, really. 

\- The worst passer rating allowed in coverage over any meaningful number of snaps belongs to Will Redmond at 120.1. The lowest is unsurprisingly held by Xavier McKinney at 52.2.
