It took until the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

But the Green Bay Packers added a defensive end to their roster.

The Packers took edge rusher Barryn Sorrell of Texas, a 6-foot-3, 256-pounder who Green Bay hopes can provide a lift to its inconsistent pass rush.

Sorrell had 15.5 sacks during his four years with the Longhorns. He also had 20.5 tackles for loss and 132 total tackles.

Sorrell ran the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds, has a 34-inch vertical and did 28 reps on the 225-pound bench press.

The Packers tied for seventh in the NFL in sacks in 2024 with 45, but their pass rush was inconsistent.

Rashan Gary made the Pro Bowl in 2024, but many considered his year a disappointment. Gary led the Packers with 7.5 sacks and tied for second with 9.0 tackles for loss, but his play was up and down.

Gary traditionally ranks among the league-leaders in pressures. In 90 career games, though, he has just 39.0 sacks — one sack every 2.31 contests. The bottom line is he just doesn’t finish enough.

Lukas Van Ness, the Packers’ first round pick in 2023, had just three sacks, six quarterback hits and six tackles for loss last year. He now faces a critical Year 3.

Kingsley Enagbare and Brenton Cox add depth — and now, so does Sorrell.
