Another player ranking list highlights Packers’ elite talent

The Green Bay Packers placed eight players in Touchdown Wire’s top 101 players list entering the 2021 season, highlighting the team’s impressive collection of individual talent.

Of the eight, four landed in the top 15. This is a team with elite players at important positions.

Here’s the list:

RB Aaron Jones, No. 67
DL Kenny Clark, No. 64
OLB Za’Darius Smith, No. 60
S Darnell Savage, No. 33
LT David Bakhtiari, No. 13
CB Jaire Alexander, No. 11
WR Davante Adams, No. 7
QB Aaron Rodgers, No. 2

Just like the list at Pro Football Focus, the Packers had an NFL-high four players in the top 15 of the rankings.

Matt LaFleur’s team won 26 games over the last two seasons and advanced to the NFC title game each year. Rodgers was the NFL’s MVP in 2020, while Adams, Alexander and Bakhtiari were all All-Pros.

The No. 1 player on the list was Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who the Packers will face during the 2021 season.

Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield of Touchdown Wire compiled the rankings, based on the duo’s individual position rankings.
