When one thinks of the best defensive players on the Green Bay Packers, one probably thinks of Rashan Gary, Jaire Alexander, or Kenny Clark. And rightly so. Gary is one of the best young pass rushers in the NFL while Alexander and Clark have made multiple Pro Bowls.
When on thinks of players that Carry the G and who sacrifice their own money to stay with the Packers, many may point to the most recent example of Aaron Jones. Other notable players who have done so in the past include Packers Hall of Famer Gilbert Brown and Pro Football Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler.
All of those players certainly deserve recognition for their accomplishments on the field and/or for their team-first mentality. However, there is one player currently on the team that really does not the recognition he deserves, neither on the field nor for what he does to sacrifice for the betterment of the team.
That player, of course, is Preston Smith, who just took his second pay cut in six years in order to remain with Green Bay.
