Getting Aaron Rodgers to accept Packers’ new reality won’t be easy

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Here are some undeniable facts that should make you think twice about the way Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst approached the 2022 NFL draft:

• Each of the last three Super Bowl champions ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense.
• The last time the Packers won a Super Bowl (45) they had the No. 1 scoring defense.
• The Super Bowl they won before that (31), they had the No. 1 scoring defense.
• Six of Gutekunst’s seven first-round draft picks since becoming GM have been defensive players.
