The Green Bay Packers are focusing on enhancing their pass rush heading into the 2025 season, particularly against play-action plays. Despite tying for eighth in the NFL with 48 sacks last season, the team’s pass rush lacked consistency and impact throughout the year. Players Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary highlighted this area as needing improvement, indicating that the coaching staff is emphasizing the importance of rushing the passer effectively against play action.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has utilized creative playcalling to create disruption, but the Packers have struggled to generate pressure with just their defensive line. The team believes it can improve, especially since they have retained a core group of seven defensive linemen for the upcoming season, including Clark and Gary. The focus will be on creating pressure in various situations to disrupt opposing quarterbacks more effectively.
