GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers were hoping the pairing of 2021 All-Pro De’Vondre Campbell with 2022 first-round pick Quay Walker would provide an elite, game-changing duo of inside linebackers.
That didn’t quite happen, and now significant changes could be on the way. New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley could be implementing a 4-3 base defense. That would mean three off-the-linebackers in the starting lineup. Moreover, having not been able to re-create his elite 2021 season, Campbell could be a cap-saving cut.
