Rashan Gary is becoming dominate at his position. He has been a model Packer! Faced all kinds of criticism, never responded but kept working! Dude is going to have a monster season!
Yes, I remember all the groans when we drafted him. I love the fact he is proving so many of us wrong.
Any reason in particular? I have had a few guys jump to the top of the list sight unseen (Nick Collins, Johnathan Franklin), but not many.

Probably Rodgers, because duh. AJ Dillon because I'm in his discord and he makes himself pretty accessible to fans. Mason Crosby because idk, he's been on the team for a long time. Devondre Campbell because I have wanted a good ILB for a long time. Jaire because how can you not like Jaire. Aaron Jones for reasons mentioned by others, and how can you not like Aaron Jones. Amos because he is underrated.
I also like Tramon Williams a lot even though he's not on the active roster currently. Tramon actually majored in engineering in college before switching to computer science, and any NFL player who is smart enough to do that deserves a lot of credit. You don't see that a lot.

I mostly follow the big ten. I ran into a few Geogia games by chance last season. I remember number 7 dominating. To be honest I thought he was a de. After we drafted him it took a bit to realize who he actually was. He is a beast imo.

Good to hear, but Dean had better stats at everything, more Tackles, sacks, pass defensed, but then again, the big guy Walker, keeps the small guy Dean clean, takes on the lead blocker, might even blast a gap so Dean can make a sack, so those stats can be deceiving, Nakobe Dean lasted till the 3rd round, Walker slot 22.
be interesting to see how well these two do in a couple years.

Georgia had so many studs on D and drafted its hard to predict which ones were actual studs. I like the 2 we selected. I think Dean fell for injury concerns. I am on record for wanting the safety Cine. Who knows.
So many players just call it quits once their athletic peak (and big contract potential) is behind them, too prideful to settle into a more modest role, but Marcedes re-invented himself and keeps on plugging in a humble role.

Dillon. He seems to really like GB. And his playing style is great.

You would think that fumble last year would have tarnished the love for him here a bit. Guess not. Long live the Big Dog.

That play was bad, but Marcedes has played for 16 seasons and has fumbled 7 times including playoffs... It was such a rare, freak thing for him, it's hard to stay mad for long. Just like no one's perma-mad about Aaron Jones' two rare fumbles in 2020 playoffs. Also happened early enough in the game we had pleeeeenty of time to overcome it.

Come on man. He is a mascot at this point. His fumble was every bit as important as the special teams excuse.

his fumble was something you expect to over come, it happened early, ST's screwed the pooch for 60 minutes straight, no comparison.
Lewis is the type of player that teams really struggle to replace, his blocking compares to a OT, he regularly takes the DE right out of the play, and if your a zone stretch run offense you want a guy like Lewis creating those run ally's, so until we develop a TE with his blocking skills why would we dump Lewis, that would be counter productive to the goals of our offense.
