The Green Bay Packers made headlines by signing guard Aaron Banks to a four-year, $77 million deal, creating debate over the contract's value. Banks has proven effective in pass protection, allowing just three sacks over 1,683 pass-blocking snaps since 2022, placing him in the 83rd percentile for sacks allowed per opportunity among qualified guards. His run-blocking has improved, particularly in gap schemes, where his performance soared to the 63rd percentile last season, aligning with the Packers' offensive shift toward gap concepts.

However, concerns linger regarding his ability to handle quarterback pressure, ranking in the 22nd percentile for hurries allowed and showing a downward trend in hit rates on the quarterback. While he has shown improvement in various metrics over the years, his overall performance has been a mixed bag. The Packers are hopeful that Banks' continued growth under their coaching staff can unlock more potential, establishing him as a reliable fixture in their offensive line.
