After starting all 17 of Green Bay's regular-season games in 2024, McDuffie had a lesser role last year, starting 12 of 17 contests and playing 161 fewer defensive snaps. That was largely due to the emergence of second-year pro Edgerrin Cooper, who became a full-time starter. McDuffie still put up solid numbers, finishing with 92 regular-season stops, including 1.0 sacks, and a pickoff. The Packers parted ways with starting ILB Quay Walker in the offseason, but they replaced him by trading for veteran Zaire Franklin. That likely means McDuffie is slated for a rotational role again in 2026.
