This edition covers players ranked 40th through 36th.Thanks to a tie for the 40th spot in the rankings, this group of players has six members rather than our usual five. However, this group consists of players at every experience level, from 13-year NFL veterans to rookie draft picks. And although all of these players have a clear path to the roster in one way or another, one in particular is likely to get a much more prominent role on the team than he had a year ago.T-40: JK Scott, punterIn his first year out of Alabama, the 2018 fifth-round draft pick had a bit of a tough adjustment to the NFL. Scott had a decent enough 44.7 gross average, which was a few tenths of a yard better than Justin Vogel’s mark from the year before and finished third for a single season in Packers history. However, his net average was much worse at 38.8 yards, and he struggled significantly to pin his kicks inside the 20-yard line.With a new special teams coordinator on board, the job remains his for the upcoming season. His long, lanky frame and the ability he showed in college — both in his directional ability and his ability to boom kicks — suggest that he can become a very good NFL punter. But he needs to be more consistent to live up to his high draft status, especially since Michael Dickson, who went a handful of picks ahead of Scott, earned All-Pro honors as a rookie.T-40: DeShone Kizer, quarterbackLike Scott, Kizer needs to improve this summer to live up to his excellent physical tools. His two lengthy outings relieving Aaron Rodgers in 2018 showed why the Cleveland Browns were all too happy to move on from him last offseason. First, he effectively gave the game away in one quarter of action against the Bears when filling in for Rodgers after he suffered his knee injury. Only a ridiculous second half by number 12 salvaged the turnover-fest that ensued with Kizer in the game.Then in week 17 with Rodgers pulled due to a concussion, Kizer again struggled mightily. He completed just 16 of 35 passes for 132 yards and an interception. As he did in the preseason https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , Kizer had his best production with his feet, scrambling four times for 40 yards.Perhaps one of the biggest issues facing Kizer in his third year in the NFL is the fact that he will be learning a new offense and playing for a new head coach for the third time. His physical skills give him the inside track on the backup quarterback job, but it is by no means a guarantee that he will hold on to it.39: Raven Greene, safetyOne of the bright spots in the preseason last year was Greene, a rangy deep safety who made a few great plays on the football in training camp and helped out with some nice special teams support. That earned him a spot on the roster, which he eventually parlayed into a key role on special teams and a few games as a useful reserve and key player when other safeties suffered injuries.nose tackle a year ago for Texas A&M because his team needed him more there, and responded with an impressive 7.5-sack season.Capable of playing just about any position on the line, he impressed at the Senior Bowl as a three-technique tackle and interior rusher, the same position as former fourth-round pick Mike Daniels. Keke should immediately be considered as a backup for the veteran, and a good performance in 2019 could make him the heir apparent if the team elects to move on from Daniels when his contract expires after the season.T-36: Marcedes Lewis, tight endAfter a year spent languishing on the bench with Mike McCarthy in charge, Lewis agreed with another former Packers tight end — Martellus Bennett — on how unfriendly the former Packers coach’s offense was for the position. However, with Matt LaFleur arriving to run the show and feature the position more heavily in 2019, Lewis returned on a one-year deal, reuniting with new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.At this stage of his career, Lewis’ size and blocking ability are his best assets. The former helps with his catch radius, however, as he did have one particularly memorable catch a year ago in the preseason. Furthermore, his longest catch in the regular season Davante Adams Jersey , a 30-yarder, came on a throwback pass design like the ones LaFleur’s offense will likely use frequently. Look for him to be on the field a lot more in 2019 than the 191 snaps he played a year ago. When Clay Matthews knew he was leaving the Green Bay Packers, he immediately told his agent he wanted to play for the Los Angeles Rams.Eric Weddle says he did the same when his time in Baltimore ended this month.Blake Bortles took it a step further: The veteran quarterback was so eager to join the Rams after Jacksonville released him that he says he would have signed even without visiting the team first."My agent didn't think that would be the best thing to do," Bortles said with a laugh.The Rams' combination of Southern California sun, recent success and Sean McVay has proven irresistible to the handful of veteran free agents who arrived this month to bolster the NFC champions' roster.Matthews spent Tuesday at the Rams' training complex, which happens to be about 13 miles from his high school. It's also a short commute from the new house that the star linebacker was already building for his young family even before his 10-year tenure with the Packers ended."To be back here now and to be able to play for the local football team and have family and friends (around), to be able to start our family here and kind of plant our roots here, is something that's pretty awesome," Matthews said.After reaching their first Super Bowl in 17 years, the Rams have made only a few judicious additions to their roster this month. Along with signing five-year Jaguars starter Bortles to be Jared Goff's backup, Los Angeles snagged six-time Pro Bowl safety Weddle to take over for Lamarcus Joyner, while Matthews will step into a yet-to-be-determined role as a linebacker and pass-rusher.Matthews started his Packers career as an edge rusher who moved into the middle of the Green Bay defense midway through his tenure. Six Pro Bowl selections and one Super Bowl ring later, the 32-year-old former USC star felt he still had more to do.Although he had a career-low 3 ½ sacks last season, Matthews plans to be a force for the Rams, who could lose Ndamukong Suh to free agency. Matthews expects his position "to be fluid," but McVay expects him to get after quarterbacks."I know I have the ability to produce like I've done before," Matthews said. "Not to make excuses, but there was some change last year in the Packers organization, and unfortunately it didn't work out for me. But as far as moving forward Josh Jones Color Rush Jersey , I know I'm a difference-maker. I know I can change games. I look forward to proving that, and showing everybody here that what you saw these past 10 years is what you'll get for these next two."Matthews was 8 years old when the NFL left Los Angeles, although he didn't root for the Rams or the Raiders: He supported the teams of his father, Clay Jr., and uncle, Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews.Ever since the Rams relocated in 2016, Matthews had an eye on the West Coast. He savored the chance to play in the Coliseum last season when the Packers lost to the Rams — and now he'll return to his college arena all season long."For (the Rams) to come back here, and for it to be so close to home, it truly is a perfect fit for me," Matthews said.Bortles spent five up-and-down seasons as the Jacksonville starter before the Jaguars added Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. Faced with free agency for the first time, Bortles chose the Rams even though he wouldn't be in real competition for the starting job.That's because Bortles was eager to play for McVay, who fostered Goff's development and built a dominant NFL offense in just two seasons in LA."Everybody wants a piece of what (McVay) is doing, and wants to understand how he's doing what he's doing at the level he's doing it at," Bortles said. "I want to get an opportunity to start in this league and I think in order to do that, this is the best step."
