Today we take a look into a few Green Bay Packers who need to bounce back in 2025. Wether injuries were the issues or just not playing up to their standard, there are always players you can find who need to have bounce back seasons for your team to truly be successful. Let’s dive into who Packers need to step up the most with our 2025 bounce back candidates.
Dontayvion Wicks
You can really choose from any of the Packers Wide Receivers to have bounce back seasons. Each and every one of them could produce more than they did in 2024, however today Dontayvion Wicks is the focus. Wicks had a sophomore slump that featured far too many dropped passes with 9. In each of his first two seasons he has shown flashes of Davante Adams like separation and route running. The issue has always been the dropped passes, with a 18% drop percentage while on the field. If Dontayvion Wicks can cut the drops down and be a complimentary piece to all the other Green Bay Packers offensive weapons the sky could be the limit for this 2025 Packers offense.
Kenny Clark
Our second Green Bay Packers 2025 Bounce Back Candidates on the list is Defensive Tackle Kenny Clark. Recently Clark spoke to reporters about having foot surgery in January after the 2024 season ended. Most likely the injury occurred in the Packers week 1 matchup vs the Philadelphia Eagles on that awful Brazil turf. Clearly the injury hampered Kenny throughout the entire 2025 season. The veteran produced only 1.0 sack, four tackles for loss and five quarterback hits during a disappointing individual season lacking impact plays. He signed a big deal before the 2024 season. The defensive front needs a big, big rebound from No. 97.
Rashan Gary
The last man on our Green Bay Packers 2025 Bounce Back Candidates list is none other than Rashan Gary. He was a dominant run defender at times in Year 1 of the Jeff Hafley era. But we know Gary can be a game-changing pass-rusher, and the Packers didn’t get enough game-changing plays from him in 2024. His total pressures dropped by 17 compared to 2023. In 2025 Green Bay hopes 1st year Defensive Line coach DeMarcus Covington can unlock Garys pass rushing skills. The Packers need more out of Rashan Gary in 2025 if the team has any aspirations of going to the Super Bowl.
