1. DE Calais Campbell (Baltimore Ravens)

He would add some much to the team in terms of performance and savvy. Veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell has played for three teams during his 14 NFL seasons and has made playoff appearances with all three franchises.

A second-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2008, he was a rookie when that team reached Super Bowl XLIII. He spent nine seasons in the desert, racking up 56.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles, three interceptions and eight fumble recoveries. The former Miami Hurricane signed with the Jaguars in 2016 and the clubs got within one win of Super Bowl LII in his second season with the club. In 2020, he was dealt to the Ravens.

All told, there have been 93.5 sacks, 14 forced fumbles and a dozen fumble recoveries. Campbell has also knocked down 55 passes. And he has the versatility to play either inside or outside up front. He’s been named to six Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro honors with Jacksonville in 2017. And he’s a solid run defender.

Next. Each NFL team’s all-time greatest moment. dark

The Packers have not been able to get over the hump for more than a decade when it comes to getting back to the Super Bowl. One reason has been the lack of a consistent defense. Could Campbell wind up being a difference maker?
