The Green Bay Packers' pass rush faces heightened expectations as they enter the 2025 season, equipped with a new defensive system and a roster featuring four former first-round picks. Last season, their pass rush ranked 27th in win rate despite recording 45 sacks, with a concerning trend of 20 sacks occurring in just three games. This inconsistency raised eyebrows, given the substantial investments made by general manager Brian Gutekunst in key defensive players like Rashan Gary and Kenny Clark.

As they aim for a resurgence, Rashan Gary stands out as a player under scrutiny, particularly as he approaches 2026 with the Packers potentially saving significant salary cap space by releasing him. Thus, all eyes will be on the pass rush unit to deliver improved results and justify the franchise's investment as the team strives for a successful season.
