Few Packers have been happier with the introduction of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s defense in the past two seasons than lineman Devonte Wyatt. For the first two years of his career, Wyatt had been a disappointment, a former first-round pick from Georgia in 2022. He began playing more last year, and after the Micah Parsons trade sent out Kenny Clark before the season, he was slotted into a starting spot.
“I definitely do love the system we’re in,” Wyatt said of playing in Hafley’s defense. “I’m a lot more comfortable and I can move a lot faster. Just being aware of what’s going on in the system. … Definitely playing in this system for this first year, it gives me an advantage for next year and being in this system again.”
Wyatt has had some ups and downs with injuries earlier in the year, missing three games with a knee problem, but he’d been effective when on the field. And then came the big Thanksgiving win in Detroit. Late in the fourth quarter, Wyatt badly rolled his ankle and needed to be carted off the field.
