A lack of elite performances from top players highlighted the Green Bay Packers’ disappointing 2022 season.
One year after putting seven players on PFF’s top 101 players list for 2021, the Packers placed only two on the 2022 version of the list.
The two players on the top 101 players list represented the Packers’ fewest in a season since PFF started compiling the list in 2010. Matt LaFleur’s team suffered through a 1-7 stretch and finished 8-9, missing the postseason in 2022.
Here’s a quick look at the two players from the Packers on PFF’s top 101 list from 2022:
No. 64: CB Jaire Alexander
Last season: No rank
PFF stat to know: Alexander allowed a passer rating of 66.2 into his coverage in 2022.
Alexander was a Pro Bowler and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2022 after missing all but four games in 2021 with a significant shoulder injury. He intercepted a career-high five passes over 16 games.
No. 85: RB Aaron Jones
Last year: No. 82
PFF stat to know: Jones averaged 3.2 yards after contact in 2022.
Jones rushed for a career-high 1,121 yards, caught a career-high 59 passes and scored seven total touchdowns while averaging 5.3 yards per rush and playing in all 17 games.
