The question at hand for the Green Bay Packers is this. How much longer can they lean on Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews for their pass rush success. Peppers is approaching 40-years old and Matthews isn’t the spring chicken he once way. This team has to find a young outside pass rusher who can be ready to receive the baton when one of them has to bow out due to injury or eventual retirement.
<p>Right now the general belief surrounding Carl Lawson is quite simple: gifted edge rusher who can dominate….when he’s healthy. Lawson dealt with a number of injuries at Auburn that slowed his progress. Still, they seemed to ease in 2016 and he took advantage with 9.5 sacks and 13 tackles for a loss. He’s an explosive and athletic player who can fit right in at outside linebacker for the Packers 3-4 scheme.</p>. OLB. Auburn. Carl Lawson . 23. player. 49
