The excitement surrounding this year’s Packers squad was turned up to 11 after acquiring Micah Parsons 10 days before the regular season began.
Parsons is a legitimate difference-maker, but the Packers coaching staff must be thrilled with the team’s defensive performance against the rival Lions, who managed only 246 yards.
Parsons did register his first sack wearing green and yellow, but the rest of the defensive front came to play like the Packers haven’t seen in recent years.
Lukas Van Ness was a constant presence, which is a great indication for his development. Devonte Wyatt generated a sack and three quarterback hits. Rashan Gary registered 1.5 sacks and three quarterbacks as well.
Once Parsons finds his footing as part of his new team and hits full stride at some point this season, the Green Bay defensive front will be frightening for opponents.
