Fresh off a breakout 2021 season, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Rashan Gary is already off to a disruptive start to training camp as the defense’s No. 1 edge rusher.
Coach Matt LaFleur admitted that facing Gary in practice can make live team drills increasingly difficult for the offense. In fact, he thinks Gary might have ended four different plays with sacks during Thursday’s practice had it been a live game setting.
“Rashan is a tone-setter,” LaFleur said Friday. “He’s got the capability of wrecking practice. He probably would have had four sacks yesterday. He’s relentless. He plays with a great motor and energy and I think it rubs off on everybody. He makes everyone around him better.”
