The Green Bay Packers have had some great linebackers in their storied history. Rashan Gary could be next on that list.
Recently, the Packers have seen players like Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk walk through their doors and become staples of their defense. Rashan Gary could be the next great linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.
Rashan Gary has already shown the impact he can have on the team. He was arguably the best player on the defense before he tore his ACL in 2022. He was on pace to set career highs in sacks, tackles, and tackles for a loss. Unfortunately, his injury prevented him from doing so, but he has been tirelessly working to make his return to football.
Clay Matthews is probably the best linebacker the Packers have had in recent memory. He is the Green Bay Packers all-time sacks leader, a two-time All-Pro, and a six-time Pro-Bowl selection. Ironically, Rashan Gary is wearing Matthews' iconic number 52. Through 10 ten seasons as a Packer, Matthews put up great numbers:
Through four seasons, one of which was cut short by injury, Gary has 22.5 sacks, 135 tackles, three forced fumbles and has played 56 games. Rashan Gary became a starter in 2021 and was a major part of the Packers' defense. If he stays with the Packers for as long as Matthews did, then it is not unrealistic to see his numbers stacking up with the man who wore 52 before him.
Unlike Matthews, A.J. Hawk was an inside linebacker. However, Hawk is still an example of another great linebacker to wear the green and gold in recent memory. Like Matthews, he was a major part of the Super Bowl defense in 2010. Hawk played nine seasons and 142 games as a Packer. During that time, he also put up great numbers:
Hawk is the all-time tackles leader for the Green Bay Packers. It will be nearly impossible for Rashan Gary to reach that mark at his position. Still, when measuring him against Hawk, it will be important to look at impact. Hawk was a consistent force on the defense, and Gary has the ability to be the same.

Keisean Nixon was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Green Bay Packers. Nixon was a contributor in more than one way for the team in 2022, but he shined as a kick returner. He was named a First Team All-Pro despite not taking over the role until November after the release of Amari Rodgers.
Nixon signed as an undrafted free agent with the Raiders in 2019 after playing college football at the University of South Carolina. After being primarily a special teams player with the Raiders, he built a familiarity with Rich Bissacia. While he was a member of the Raiders, he only logged six attempts as a kick returner.
The Green Bay Packers struggled greatly in the return game until Keisean Nixon came along. He led the league in kick return yards with 1,009 kick return yards on 32 attempts.
Not only did Nixon provide exceptional return skills, but he also showcased his ability on defense. He started four games on defense and even recorded an interception. He primarily played the nickel position on the defensive side of the ball and played a big role in the defensive turnaround in the final weeks of the season.
Nixon will surely begin the 2023 season as the team's primary kick returner. The team has tried different players as punt returners, but it is not out of the question for Nixon to handle punts and kickoffs. He had 11 attempts as a punt returner. He will look to make the All-Pro team for the second consecutive season as a returner.
Keisean Nixon is also set up for a bigger role on defense in 2o23. He is the team's starting nickel corner and has seen first-team reps all offseason. Nixon's athleticism allows him to keep up with quick and fast slot receivers, while Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas can excel as outside corners.
The most surprising part of Nixon's 2023 season may be his potential on offense. Matt LaFleur discussed getting Nixon the ball on offense back in March, but he was seen catching passes with the group when the team began practices.
"Kei’, he’s a dynamic player,” LaFleur said via Packers.com. “I was joking with him, I said, ‘Hey, you never know, there might be some opportunities offensively.’ And I know he was fired up to hear that. For us, it truly is. If he can handle it, I’ve got no problem putting him in there in some situations on offense. But got to make sure that we take care of that nickel spot first and foremost and continue to progress as a returner.”
No, CB/KR Keisean Nixon wasn’t lost. He was supposed to be down with the offense catching passes.
Rare to see a green jersey with the offensive guys but Matt LaFleur suggested this offseason he might consider giving the All Pro return man some snaps. pic.twitter.com/nJeLre6ACz

The Green Bay Packers' defense has some extra pressure on them with a new quarterback at the helm. However, the defense is loaded with first-round picks, Pro Bowlers, and All-Pros. One of those talented stars is defensive tackle, Kenny Clark.
Clark was drafted by the Packers in 2016 and has been a force on their defensive line. He has primarily played nose tackle, but he could see some more snaps at defensive end in 2023 as the Packers try to get all of their talent on the field at once.
Kenny Clark is one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL and has been a consistent force for the Packers in his NFL career. Clark is also proven to be consistently available for the team. In seven seasons, he has only missed seven games. He has been named to the Pro Bowl twice in his career. In 2022, the Green Bay Packers drafted Devonte Wyatt from the University of Georgia.
Wyatt and Clark both play defensive tackle. Towards the end of the season, Wyatt had earned himself more and more snaps and was really showing what he could do. His development allows the Packers to move Clark to take more defensive end snaps so that he and Wyatt can both cause problems for offenses at the same time. Wyatt is a young player and not at the same level as Clark. It would be easier for Clark to take snaps at the defensive end due to his experience in the NFL.
In addition to Wyatt's emergence, the Packers lost veteran defensive ends Dean Lowry and Jarran Reed in free agency. Clark could easily take some more snaps at the defensive end and let Devonte Wyatt and Tedarrell Slaton continue to grow.
Kenny Clark seems to like the idea of moving around, as it lets the Packers get all of their playmakers on the field. The Packers value versatility up front, and Kenny Clark feels he can play anywhere.
"Wherever they need me to fit I’m fitting in at and I’m comfortable with that. I feel like I can play everywhere, regardless, the 5 [technique], the 3 [technique], the nose. When it comes game time, I think I’m going to be all over the field. So, it’s going to be cool for us. I like it.
- Kenny Clark at OTAs via Forbes
Clark is now the veteran leader on the defense, and he is still only 27. Clark is not only a mentor to the young defensive linemen on the team but is now one of the longest-tenured Packers in the locker room.

Playing quarterback for the Green Bay Packers is one of the most prestigious positions in the NFL. The last 30 years have been a model for greatness for the Packers at the position. However, now, just as when Aaron Rodgers took over for Brett Favre, there is a period of uncertainty. The Packers' front office believes they have their guy in Jordan Love. Love has big shoes to fill, but the former Utah State quarterback is ready to take over the reins.
To expect Jordan Love to reach the level of play initially that Rodgers reached is unfair. Love has made one career start and has seen meaningful playing time in just three games. When Rodgers took over for Favre it was unfair to expect him to be as good as or better than Favre. Jordan Love will have growing pains as a starter, but he has shown in his limited playing time that he can succeed in the NFL.
Love's biggest asset will be his familiarity with the offense. He has been in Matt LaFleur's offense since he was drafted. He also took reps with the No. 1 offense last offseason since Aaron Rodgers opted not to attend the workouts. Love and LaFleur have worked together long enough for LaFleur to understand what Jordan Love is most comfortable with on the field.
The Packers seem committed to making sure Jordan Love has weapons at his disposal. They already have Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, who Love spent time throwing to last offseason. There are reports that they could draft another wide receiver early in the draft this year. They also worked out a new contract allowing Aaron Jones to remain in Green Bay.
Jordan Love will have a solid group of weapons that can excel in Matt Lafleur's system, and they could add even more. Love will have this entire offseason to gain even more experience, and now that he knows he will be the starter, it will mean more than ever.
Last season when Love came into the game against the Eagles, he looked stellar. The highlight that night was a crossing route he threw to Watson for a 63-yard touchdown. Green Bay's offense could be a lot of the same this season with Jordan Love leading the way as QB1.
Mayfield Sports Marketing has been pleased to book Jordan Love for events in the past. We look forward to continuing working with Jordan as he becomes the Packers QB1.

The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Jordan Love to a one-year contract extension through 2024.
Love spent three seasons backing up Aaron Rodgers before being ushered into the starting role heading into the 2023 season. Love has appeared in 10 games with one start so far in his career since being selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Utah State.
He played in four games last season, going 14 of 21 with a 66.7 completion percentage. That was good for 195 yards, one TD, and a passer rating of 112.2. The highlight of Love’s 2022 season was a 63-yard TD pass to Christian Watson on Nov. 27 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Heading into the 2023 season, the Packers have a lot of confidence in Love. Matt Lafleur spoke to Packers.com writer Mike Spafford about his confidence in Love.
“He definitely understands that he’s the guy in charge, he’s going to be the guy in the huddle and he’s got to be an extension of us, and we’re excited for him.” LaFleur said. “We’ve got a lot of confidence in him.”
Former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke highly of Love while he was on the Pat McAfee show on March 15:
“Jordan Love is going to be a great player, he’s a great kid, they got a good young team,” Rodgers said.
Athletes First represent Jordan Love. Mayfield Sports Marketing is happy to work with your group if you seek any marketing or athlete appearances or wish for Love to be a company brand ambassador.

The 2022 season was off to a great start for Rashan Gary. The Michigan product totaled six sacks, 32 combined tackles, and seven tackles for loss through the season's first nine games.
Unfortunately, his season would come to an end in Week 9 when he suffered an ACL tear against the Detroit Lions. Gary was on pace to set a career-high in sacks, pressures, tackles and quarterback hits.
The Packers have already exercised Gary's fifth-year option, so he is locked in to be a Packer this year. 2023 will be the most important year of his career. He is playing not only for a new contract but also to prove he remains one of the top outside linebackers in the league.
Rashan Gary was establishing himself as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL before his injury. He came into the league sitting behind Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith. Now he is the Packers' best pass rusher. Gary's offseasons are always filled with individual work and a constant dedication to getting better, but now he has also been rehabbing an injury.
Despite not being a starter in his first two seasons, Gary has become integral to the Packers' defense. The Packers relied heavily on Gary to pressure opposing offenses. When he went down, they struggled in that area.
The market value for Rashan Gary is projected to be a 4-year/$104-million contract with an average of $26 million a year. This would make him the fourth highest-paid outside linebacker in the NFL. The former 12th-overall pick has already proved his value to the franchise, and the team will likely extend the 26-year-old pass rusher.
Gary's dedication and mindset to improving each offseason will surely allow him to return to dominance in 2023. Gary has already been posting on social media about his eagerness to return better than ever.

The Green Bay Packers signed Rasul Douglas on Oct. 7, 2021, from the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. On Oct. 28, he had a game-sealing interception in the end zone against the Cardinals, his former team. Since then, Douglas has become a fan favorite and signed a long-term deal to stay in Green Bay.
In 2022, Rasul Douglas became one of the most important pieces on the defense and established himself as a premiere cornerback.
The Packers have yet to sign Adrian Amos, so they may lose a secondary staple. The safety position might be a hole on the roster, but there were conversations about moving Rasul Douglas to fill the role.
Douglas has the physical tools to play safety. He is a good tackler with lots of range and, most importantly, has great hands and anticipation.
However, head coach Matt LaFluer Douglas confirmed that Rasul Douglas would start on the outside to begin the season.
LaFleur says Darnell Savage will start out at safety and Rasul Douglas at outside corner. Keisean Nixon will get every opportunity to win the nickel job.
— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) March 28, 2023
Rasul Douglas' position won't change the impact he can have on the field. Not only does Douglas come away with plenty of interceptions, they often come in clutch time. Since joining the Packers, he has nine interceptions and two touchdowns. LaFleur already confirmed that Douglas will start the year at outside corner, but Brian Gutekunst is confident that Douglas could transition to safety easily if the team wants:
"(Douglas) has such good eyes and instincts when he's back there and seeing the whole field," Gutekunst said. "Anytime you move a guy inside, whether it's the nickel or the safety, and you have both sides you really have to worry about, there's a curve there that's going to take some time to really understand that. But his skill set as far as his eyes, his ability to go get the ball, his angles, his instincts and he's a pretty good tackler, too, he could make that transition if that's what we decided to do."
Rasul Douglas is everything a team wants in a corner. He's physical, tough, clutch and so much more. The coaching staff already knows he has the skill set to play safety if needed, but he can also play nickel. He actually played nickel to begin 2022 but moved back outside when Eric Stokes got hurt.
Last offseason, Douglas said he enjoyed the challenge of playing nickel:
Obviously, that was last offseason, but the team should be happy to know that Douglas is up for the task if he is needed there again. Whether it's at safety, outside corner or nickel, Rasul Douglas is going to have a big season.

Jonathan "Rudy" Ford became an important player for the Packers in 2022. Ford was a sixth-round pick out of Auburn, and 2022 was Ford's first season in Green Bay. He spent the majority of his career on special teams, but in 2022 he played more defensive snaps than any other year in his career. His play on defense and special teams has earned him a new one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million.
Ford, like many, has not had an easy road to the NFL. He was born in Alabama, leading to his decision to play at Auburn. As a kid, he was given the nickname "Rudy" by his uncle after the character from the 1993 movie of the same name. Auburn initially recruited Ford as a running back, before he changed positions, finding himself on the defensive side of the ball.
After landing in Arizona, he spent two years there, primarily as a special team's ace. He would then go to the Eagles, where he was also primarily a special teamer. The Jaguars signed Ford to a two-year deal before releasing him in 2022.
His next stop would be Green Bay, where he finally got a chance on defense. The Packers' safety position dealt with some injuries, and the inconsistent play opened the door for Rudy Ford. Ford made six starts for the Packers in 2022, but his breakout game came at Lambeau Field against the Cowboys. The Packers needed to win to keep any hope of the playoffs alive, and Ford delivered two interceptions off of Dak Prescott. Ford showed he could be an impact player on defense, and his snap count kept increasing.
Ford will undoubtedly start 2023 with a different role than in 2022. The Packers have not made a decision on Adrian Amos but added Tarvarius Moore in free agency. Realistically this leaves the safety position in the hands of Moore, Darnell Savage, and Rudy Ford. In 2022, Ford ended the season with three interceptions, 44 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
There is a chance Ford sees the field as a starter in Week 1, even if the Packers add a safety in the NFL Draft. Ford will also likely have an impact on special teams again in 2023. Last season he played 108 snaps on special teams under Rich Bissacia. If Bissacia thinks Ford will better the special teams, then Ford could see a snap increase there too.
Mayfield Sports Marketing was pleased to work with Ford in his first season with the Packers, booking him to appear at various events. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Ford as his role in Green Bay expands.
Kenny Clark has become a fan favorite in Green Bay during his time with the Packers. Green Bay selected Clark with the 27th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. In 2020, Clark signed a four-year $70 million deal with the Green Bay Packers. That deal will keep him in Green Bay through the 2024 season.
Flash forward to 2022, and he started in every one of the 17 games he played. The two-time Pro Bowler earned 53 total tackles, 27 solo tackles, 10 quarterback hits, five tackles for loss and one forced fumble last season. In early March, the Packers restructured the defensive lineman's contract. According to Field Yates of ESPN, that restructure created a little over $11 million in salary cap space.
Recently, Kenny Clark made appearances at local schools in the state of Wisconsin that left a lasting impact.
Kenny Clark, along with Mark Mayfield, surprised four middle schools and high schools in one day in Northwest Wisconsin. Those schools included Abbotsford, Medford, Flambeau and Ladysmith.
"I received a warm welcome and introduction at each school," Mark Mayfield said. "Little did the students know that an All-Pro nose tackle from the Green Bay Packers was going to join me for a short discussion."
"It was a special experience," Mayfield said. "At each location, I would read off Kenny’s bio, highlighting where he’s from, where he went to school and being a two-time, All-Pro, with the transition into a lightning round with questions about his favorite food, vacation, destinations, other sports he played at high school, funniest, teammate music and the actual phone call on Draft day when he was elected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round."
Additional things that were discussed were Kenny Clark's nutrition and off-field exercises. In recent years it has changed in some ways that started to include pilates and yoga.
"We would then finish our time with the students with a question-and-answer session," Mayfield said. "Students could ask questions about his teammates, goals, mentors, and his future. One of my favorite things about this community outreach program was Kenny answered it all for schools, saying 'I just want to be the best me that I can be.'"

How did a Psychology degree from Indiana University turn into a successful sports marketing agency? Mark Mayfield is the President of Mayfield Sports, but that was not always the plan.
Mark was the Director of Sales and Marketing at a resort in Wisconsin when he found out Gilbert Brown was coming in to stay at the resort. Being a sports fan, Mark took the opportunity to eat breakfast with Gilbert.
"We had breakfast several days in a row while he was staying at the resort each morning," Mayfield said. "At the end of his stay, I told him I'm really good at sales and marketing, and he replied and said he needed a website."
Brown was retired and needed a site to help with event bookings and signings. Mark built the site and was returning calls during his breaks and lunch hour at his day job at the resort. He then used his vacation days to do events with Brown in Green Bay. They also started going to Packers home games to attend autograph events.
For six years, Mayfield worked at the resort while also managing Browns' bookings and marketing. During that time, he was also introduced to several of Browns' teammates like: HOF LeRoy Butler, Santana Dotson, Dorsey Levens and William Henderson to name a few. Since then, Mayfield Sports has experienced tremendous growth with current roster NFL players, NFL Hall of Fame players, NBA, MLB and NHL bookings. Needless to say it has given Mark Mayfield once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
What do you attribute your success thus far? Mayfield replied, "Building relationships not only with the athlete but also other agencies, agents and business partners is very important. All the details and work in advance builds seem less events and success. It is also very important to have a great team around you. I am fortunate to have several people around me that possess a different expertise than I do but all attribute to the success of the team."
"I've had the luxury of doing some pretty cool stuff, Mayfield said. " The first time that I went to Lambeau Field, Gilbert invited me to go, and he introduced me to seven or eight guys from the Super Bowl 31 team. That was eye-opening and humbling."
During the last several years I asked about Mayfield's journey. "I've had the luxury of meeting players and athletes that you would never dream of meeting during my travels. I've met Kareem, Dr. J, Reggie Jackson, Giannis, Joe Namath, Jim Brown, Ray Lewis, Charles Woodson, and Carl Lewis to a name just a few. Travels include: Super Bowls, Pro Football of Fame, Indy 500, NFL games home/away, college championships, PGA events, Ryder Cups and numerous autograph conventions across the country. I am very very lucky as a sports fan." Mayfield said.
Mayfield said In the last six months, he's had the opportunity to change the dynamic of the agency. At the core, Mayfield Sports is a sports marketing booking agency. He said he wants to take the portfolio of clients he has and push out of his comfort zone. He wants to be able to use the network he has built to take calls and find athletes for events for those who are looking. MSM specializes in athlete appearances, endorsements, social media activation and autograph events. Mayfield has also added consulting to his toolbox and looks forward to building that part of the business as well.
Mayfield Sports started as Packers legends agency in Wisconsin. "I am very thankful for Gilbert Brown as a good friend and my first client!" Mark Mayfield has built a network that will play a great role in even more growth of the agency in the near future across the country.
From eating breakfast with Gilbert Brown to running a successful sports marketing agency, Mark Mayfield has come a long way. He takes nothing for granted and earns it every day as he looks to take his business to even greater heights.
