Get the right DC and a good draft by Gutey and the Lombardi window is OPEN.

My bet is Jerry Gray (from Falcons coach tracker);
"In his three seasons (2020-22) with Green Bay, the Packers have finished in the top 10 in passing defense in all three years.
In 2022, Green Bay's defense finished sixth in passing defense, limiting opponents to 197.0 yards per game, and tied for fourth in interceptions with 17. Under Gray's guidance, cornerback Jaire Alexander earned All-Pro honors from the Associated Press for the second time in three seasons with Gray. In 2020, Alexander became the first Packers cornerback to earn All-Pro honors since Charles Woodson in 2011."
A similar performance could be enough to make the SB next year and MLF would know, what he gets.

@Germany I would give much of the credit for those stats to the Barry scheme. He deliberately allowed the defense to be weak against the run (always near the bottom of the league in Def-rushing stats) so he could play 5 or 6 DB's and defend the pass.
Maybe a little credit to Jerry Gray but really it was mostly the overall scheme.
