Tracked for only four defensive snaps throughout his career before Week 10’s NFC North head-to-head on Nov. 17, 2024, Brenton Cox Jr. was not only a Green Bay linebacker, but one “green” on NFL experience. Prepared to shine during his first opportunity in the spotlight, Cox committed the rest of the afternoon to putting opposing Bears in the turf, starting with a well-timed snap jump and backfield tackle, forcing Chicago into a difficult third-and-long. Earning the trust of the coaching staff in both the Packers’ 20-19 win and the weeks to follow, Cox’s breakout performance featured three tackles, a pair of QB hits, and one sack across 24 total snaps.
