The Green Bay Packers rose from being one of the NFL’s youngest teams to being one in just one off-season. A new era in Green Bay was brought about by the decisions to trade Aaron Rodgers and not re-sign many important veterans. A team full of young, talented players bodes well for the future.
Nonetheless, veteran leadership and experience can frequently help younger rosters. In the near future, the Packers are anticipated to bolster their defense with precisely that.
The NFL Staff at Bleacher Report outlined Green Bay’s advantages in this move:
en Bay:
This offseason, Green Bay will be shopping for safety prospects because they have a number of upcoming free agents at the position, including important players like Jonathan Owens, Rudy Ford, and Darnell Savage. Even though it’s not possible to replace three guys with one, Duggar would be a fantastic match for the Packers because of his flexibility.
The four-year veteran has logged a sizable number of snaps in the box, as a deep safety, and over the slot this season, and the team will need to cover a few holes in the secondary.
He’s also played well, giving up an 82.0 passing rating when targeted coming into this weekend and receiving a favorable run-defense grade from Pro Football Focus.
Dugger is ranked No. 20 on Pro Football Focus’s list of the Top 50 free agents for 2024.
On its list of the Top 50 free agents for 2024, gger is placed No. 20:
As more teams switch to dime packages and huge dime looks with three safeties, “Bill Belichick, the head coach of the Patriots, has fallen in love with the mold of the safety/linebacker hybrid that Kyle Dugger is,” the website stated. “Dugger isn’t a liability in coverage, especially against bigger slot receivers and tight ends, and he fits in the run game as well as any defensive back in the NFL.”
After this season, it would be extremely logical for the Packers to add a strong starter at safety. In the long run, there is a lot of uncertainty for the Packers at that position. Dugger’s addition would be a huge positive move.
It should be mentioned that famous New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick might be leaving. One of his main targets, if he chooses to become a defensive coordinator elsewhere, would probably be Dugger.
