The Packers have finally surrounded Kenny Clark with some legitimate support.

When the Green Bay Packers signed veteran defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois to a one-year deal on March 23, it appeared to be a solid but unflashy addition to bolster depth on the defensive line.  However, as the season inches closer, the possibility that Jean Francois will make considerable contributions in 2017 continues to grow.

One of the most promising trends to emerge from the young 2016 season has been how stout the Packers have been against the run.  No one would have predicted it a few  months ago, but through the first quarter of the season, it hasn't been the St. Louis Rams or the New York Jets but the Green Bay Packers who have boasted the NFL's strongest defensive front.  But do you realize just how good the Packers have been in run defense so far this season—or how consistent?

Raji reportedly received a one-year deal worth $4 million to return to Green Bay in 2014.

With B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett scheduled to become free agents in March, the Packers are looking at a pair of second-year players to step up their level of play.
