Packers fan favorite dropped from packers defensive rankings
Share this article:
The Green Bay Packers just dropped their “Defensive Weapons” ranking featuring big names like Rashan Gary, Xavier McKinney, Micah Parsons, Quay Walker, and Devonte Wyatt. But instead of universal praise, the list has ignited a heated debate across the Packers fan base.

The biggest controversy? Edgerrin Cooper – the rising star many see as the future of Green Bay’s defense – was nowhere to be found. Social media quickly lit up with frustration:
-
“Cooper is the future of this defense. How could they snub him?”
“If Parsons can make the list the moment he arrives, then Cooper deserves double the recognition.”
“This looks like the Packers are only pushing the ‘big stars’ and forgetting the rookie who battled all season long.”
And the fans have a point. Cooper’s rookie season was eye-catching: 87 tackles, 3.5 sacks, an interception, and multiple game-changing plays that helped push the Packers deep into contention. Analysts have already pegged him as a cornerstone next to Quay Walker for years to come.
Still, when it came to the team’s media spotlight, Cooper apparently lacked the “star power” to stand alongside Pro Bowl and All-Pro caliber names. That decision has sparked outrage – and, ironically, made Cooper the hottest talking point of the entire release.
Some fans insist this is just a “marketing move,” while others see it as a flat-out injustice. Either way, the Packers may have unintentionally elevated Edgerrin Cooper even more – turning him into the name everyone’s watching.
👉 The real question now isn’t “Who’s the biggest Defensive Weapon?” It’s “How long before Cooper proves he belongs on every single star list the Packers release?”
