TrendWyatt by season (Packers DL)
| Season | Tackles | TFL | Sacks | QB Hits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 8 | 0 | 1.5 | 3 |
| 2023 | 20 | 6 | 5.5 | 11 |
| 2024 | 15 | 9 | 5.0 | 9 |
| 2025 | 15 | 6 | 4.0 | 7 |
Selected 28th overall in the 2022 draft (same first round that landed Quay Walker), Wyatt was a slow-cook rookie — just 8 tackles and 1.5 sacks in limited snaps behind Kenny Clark.
Year 2 was the leap: 5.5 sacks and 11 QB hits in 2023 signaled the interior pass-rush ceiling. He's now posted 14.5 sacks across his last three years, an elite interior trajectory.
Sacks per season
| Season | Sacks |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 1.5 |
| 2023 | 5.5 |
| 2024 | 5 |
| 2025 | 4 |
14.5 sacks across 2023-2025 — top-5 among interior DTs aged 25-and-under in that span.
MilestoneFrom his second season onward, Wyatt has been a top-tier interior pass-rush threat. 5.5 + 5.0 + 4.0 = 14.5 sacks in three seasons, with QB hits trending steadily (27 across the same span).
For context, Pro Bowl interior DTs in this draft window (2022-2024 picks) like Jordan Davis and Nolan Smith haven't hit those numbers. Wyatt's case for an early second-contract extension grew with each year.
21 TFL across 4 seasons — and 15 of them in 2024-2025 as he expanded beyond just pass-rush.

| Season | TFL | Tackles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 0 | 8 | Rotational rookie |
| 2023 | 6 | 20 | Pass-rush breakout |

Wyatt's evolution from pure pass-rush snaps to a 3-down DT shows up in the TFL count: from 0 in 2022 to 9 in 2024. He's grown into early-down run defense without sacrificing the rush.
The 2024 line (9 TFL, 5.0 sacks, 9 QB hits) is arguably his most well-rounded season — a complete interior defender, not just a sub-package specialist.
Listed RES on the current Packers roster — knee injury cut into the 2025 stretch.
AnomalyWyatt is currently on Green Bay's Reserve list for late-2025, after an injury setback that cost him snaps down the stretch. His 4.0 sacks and 6 TFL lines were posted in a partial campaign before the IR move.
The production-per-game rate, however, is on par with the previous two seasons. A clean offseason positions him for a return to ~5-sack interior territory in 2026 — and, depending on contract talks, possibly elsewhere.
With Kenny Clark, Wyatt forms one of the league's most disruptive young interior DT duos.
ComparisonGreen Bay's interior defensive line has been the strength of the unit for two years running. Wyatt's 9.0 sacks across 2023-2024 outpaced Clark's totals in that window despite playing fewer snaps.
The value case for Wyatt: he's the inside half of the Packers' future-front, paired with the Rashan Gary/Lukas Van Ness edges. 15.5 career sacks through age 27 is a solid platform for an extension.
4 seasons in, just 1 forced fumble — clean pocket-pressure profile, low turnover-create rate.
RareDespite the QB hits (30 career) and sacks, Wyatt has only 1 career forced fumble — a counter to the typical pass-rusher profile. His wins come through gap penetration and bull-rush, not strip techniques.
The upside lies in adding the turnover-creation layer: edge defenders averaging 5-6 sacks typically post 1-2 FFs per year. Wyatt's career-long 1 FF is a clear area where additional production could come without changing his core game.
