Aaron Banks struggles in 2025 season with Packers, aims for improvement
Summary

Aaron Banks faced a challenging first season with the Green Bay Packers in 2025, struggling to meet expectations after signing a four-year, $77 million contract. His performance in pass protection declined significantly, although he maintained his run-blocking abilities. Injuries, including a back issue during training camp and subsequent ankle and groin problems, contributed to his difficulties.
