## Resource

The Packers’ defense is soaring in 2026, thanks to Edgerrin Cooper’s explosive rise—ESPN now ranks him among the top 10 off-ball linebackers. His rapid development, from limited snaps as a rookie to dominating nearly every defensive play in 2025, proves why letting Quay Walker walk was the right move. Cooper’s advanced stats, especially in coverage, far outshine Walker’s struggles, validating Green Bay’s bold investment in their young star on a rookie deal.
