Aaron Banks, 27, has started 43 of 53 games played in four NFL seasons. He was San Francisco’s starting left guard the past three seasons.

Banks started 16 games in 2022, 14 of 15 games in 2023 and 13 games last season. He missed four of the last six games in 2024 — two because of a concussion and two due to a knee injury.

He figures to fit in well with the Packers, who run a system similar to the one used by the 49ers.

Banks was a second-round pick in 2021 out of Notre Dame.
