Packers' Barryn Sorrell: Mostly uninvolved as rookie
Rotowire
Sorrell recorded 15 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games with Green Bay in 2025.
Micah Parsons (knee) and Rashan Gary played the lion's share of the Packers' available snaps at defensive end in 2025, and Sorrell logged just three games with more than 15 defensive snaps, including Green Bay's wild-card loss at Chicago. With all of Parsons, Gary and Lukas Van Ness on track to be under contract with the Packers again in 2026, it's likely Sorrell will still be playing in a rotational role in his second year as a pro. However, with Parsons having suffered a December ACL tear, Sorrell should see at least a few more opportunities.

Packers' Barryn Sorrell: Green Bay adds pass rusher
Rotowire
The Packers selected Sorrell in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 124th overall.
Sorrell (6-foot-3, 256 pounds) was a quality three-year starter at Texas, where he produced workmanlike box scores (15.5 sacks, 24.5 tackles for loss in his final 43 games) and provided a steadying, consistent presence for the Longhorns. Sorrell's competent but modest production led to the assumption that he must lack athleticism, but Sorrell quietly posted very good numbers at the 2025 NFL Combine, with his speed (4.68-second 40), explosiveness (121-inch broad jump) and quickness (7.06-second three-cone drill) all grading safely above average. If Lukas Van Ness fails to claim the starting role opposite Rashan Gary, Sorrell might eventually make his way into Green Bay's starting lineup.
