The Packers predominantly operate a Fangio-style two-high safety defense, emphasizing zone coverage, disciplined run fits, and leveraging linebackers in versatile capacities.
Walker can immediately compete for a starting Will linebacker role, eventually developing into an every-down inside linebacker capable of excelling against both the run and pass.
He would be significantly underutilized in a purely blitz-heavy, one-gap 4-3 scheme that prioritizes raw pass-rush ability over coverage and range.
A highly athletic and rangy linebacker, Walker is a perfect fit for the Packers' defensive system, allowing him to thrive in pursuit, coverage, and as a run defender.
Selected #22 overall in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of Georgia.
