Van Ness’s breakout season arrives with a flourish as he pairs power with new counter moves, transforming the Packers’ edge presence. A miked practice clip shows him ripping rush angles, selling an upfield burst, then snapping back inside with an explosive crossover. The coaching mix—front variations and flexible alignments—lets him play standup, inside, and at five-tech, widening his bag beyond power. Jordan Love’s two superpowers—dynamic downfield creation and elite sack avoidance—anchor a QB evolution, with references to his throws and the Bears/Jaguars-era samples. The conversation also threads in the growing importance of ramp-up timing for camps, debates about mini-camps, and how the sequence of preseason work can curb injuries, tying into fantasy implications for stacking both Love and a rising Packers pass rush.
