The first quarter of the NFL season is in the books and the Green Bay Packers have a 2-1-1 record. It's not the record the Packers had in mind at this point of the season, but they are still in good position to reach their goals as they are half a game behind the Chicago Bears for the NFC North lead.

The one surprising thing about the Packers this year is the play of the defense. After struggling with Dom Capers the last few years, the Packers brought in Mike Pettine to be the defensive coordinator and they currently rank No. 6 in total defense, seventh in passing defense, 15th in rushing defense and 11th in scoring defense. The Packers have also recorded 13 sacks, the fourth-best total in the NFL and they have notched four interceptions, the eighth-best total in the league.

On offense, the Packers have some issues as they are ranked 17th in total offense, 14th in passing offense, 19th in rushing offense and 19th in scoring offense. That will need to change soon if the Packers want to make a Super Bowl run.

Here's a look 10 Packers players who have stood out in the first four games of the year.
