Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker had a huge day in their 38-20 win on the road against the Chicago Bears. One of the highlights in the game was picking off Justin Fields in the fourth quarter and returning it 37 yards for a touchdown.

In the game as well, Quay Walker also had one solo tackle, assisted on three tackles, and also had one tackle for a loss. With the way Quay Walker impacted the game on Sunday against the Bears, is the second-year player from Georgia going to have another big season in 2023 for the Packers?
It remains to be seen what else Walker is going to do in 2023, but it was a great start to the season for him after what he did during the 2022 season. As a rookie for the Packers, he recorded 121 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and seven pass deflections.
Quay Walker is a very athletic linebacker for the Packers. After the game was over, teammate Devonte Wyatt spoke out on the pick-six by Walker.
Wyatt said:
“Aw man it was amazing.”

Quay Walker Left the Game With a Concussion
During the game, Walker left because he was evaluated for a concussion. We shall see how that affects his status for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons on the road. If Walker can play next week for the Packers, that would be huge for the second-year player out of Georgia. Walker is going to be a huge part of this defense once again this season.
His pick-six is what sealed the deal in the Packers’ win on the road against the Bears. Quay Walker is primed for another big season if he can stay healthy all season long.
