The first of six Green Bay Packers to make “The Top 100 Players of 2020” list is outside linebacker Preston Smith.
Smith, a free-agent signing of the Packers who delivered a career-high 12.0 sacks during his first season in Green Bay, ranked No. 63 on the 100-player list.
After spending four years in Washington, Smith teamed up with Za’Darius Smith to completely revamp the Packers’ pass-rush. Together, the pair delivered 25.5 sacks, the most by a pair of teammates in the NFL in 2019.
Smith played all 16 games and two playoff games. He added two sacks and four quarterbacks hits during the postseason, bringing his 18-game totals to 14 sacks and 27 quarterback hits.
This is the first time Smith has made the NFL’s top 100 players list.
He exploded onto the scene in his first season in Green Bay.
