The Green Bay Packers are 2-2-1 after five games. It’s been a rocky start for Mike McCarthy’s crew, but the Packers have enjoyed several standout individual performances to start 2018.

Here are Green Bay’s five best players through five games:

LT David Bakhtiari

Week after week, Bakhtiari eliminates an edge rusher and walls off the left side of the offensive line in the passing game. There is no more debate: Bakhtiari is the best pass-blocking left tackle in the NFL, and he’s quite possibly one of the league’s best pass blocking offensive tackles of the last 10-15 years. Just a dominant, consistent player at a high-stress, high-importance position. He’s well on his way to a third straight All-Pro season.

DL Kenny Clark

Clark is truly one of those players who can’t be fully appreciated without going back and watching every one of his snaps every single week. There’s no one as consistently disruptive as Clark on the Packers defense. He’s the full package, with the power to win one-on-one and eat up double teams, the quickness to get by interior linemen and disrupt the quarterback, the awareness to see everything happening in front of him at all times and the athleticism to work down the line of scrimmage in the run game and chase down running backs in the screen game. The 23-year-old is impressive every week. And he’s only getting better. Clark has only one sack through five games, but he’s been so close to about 5-6 more. I still expect him to finish 2018 with 7-8.

WR Davante Adams

Adams is producing like a No. 1 receiver, and he’s doing it against top competition. Despite facing shadow coverage from Kyle Fuller, Xavier Rhodes, Josh Norman, Tredavious White and Darius Slay, Adams has a touchdown catch in four of the first five games and is currently on pace for career highs in receptions, receiving yards and catch percentage. He remains a master technician at the line of scrimmage and at the top of routes, and he’s tough to get to the ground in the open field. Aaron Rodgers has admitted he hasn’t gotten the ball to Adams enough to start 2018. Look out if these two ever start connecting at optimal capacity.

LB Blake Martinez

Martinez has taken a slight step back in defending the run, but his drastic improvements in coverage have more than made up for any lost value against the run game. The third-year linebacker looks more aware and confident handling tight ends and running backs in space, with quick reaction ability to close passing windows and stop short passes into the flat. He’s also been a featured part of Mike Pettine’s blitz package, resulting in three sacks, four quarterback hits and several other pressures through five games. If he can regain his attacking edge against the run, Martinez will have put together the complete package at inside linebacker.

QB Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers hasn’t been sharp and he isn’t without blame for the offense’s struggles through the first five games, but the two-time MVP still led a 20-point comeback on one knee in the opener and has 10 touchdowns, one interception and a passer rating over 100.0. He’s also on pace to set a new career high in passing yards. Still, Rodgers can be and must be better. His completion percentage, touchdown percentage, yards per attempt and passer rating are all below his career averages. The bar is set high for No. 12. Good isn’t good enough. He needs to start throwing with more consistent accuracy, pulling the trigger to open receivers and getting the Packers into the end zone at a higher rate. More can be expected as his left knee heals.

Honorable mention

CB Jaire Alexander: His speed, physicality and versatility have helped transform the Packers’ cornerback position.

C Corey Linsley: The Packers veteran center is putting together his finest professional season. He’s been dominant as a pass blocker.

RB Aaron Jones: Dynamic runner is averaging 6.7 yards per touch to start 2018. The Packers must find new ways to feature him on offense.

WR Geronimo Allison: He’s had some drops and a concussion cost him an appearance last week in Detroit, but he averaged 15.2 yards per catch and 72.3 yards per game during the first four weeks.

OLB Reggie Gilbert: Hard-working edge rusher leads the defense in quarterback hits (five) after five games.

S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix: He has three takeaways and generally been reliable in coverage, but his individual mistakes have been glaring. Instincts and physicality remain problems.
